It happens every year. A lot of rumors, little happening.

Re: Lousy Trading Deadline

Does it matter if a trade happens right at the deadline or not?

Re: Lousy Trading Deadline

Anyways players will still get traded until September 1st. Hope Washburn is one of them.

The Mariners need to lower their demands and just accept whatever they can get for Washburn (and Ibanez). Ridiculous.

The Mariners should just take a low level prospect for Washburn. Not sure about Ibanez. He could be a type A FA this year. If they cant get two first round quality prospects, they should just offer Ibanez arbitration and get the two draft picks.

So? If I was a GM I would not wait until 3:55 pm the day of the trade deadline to make a trade I can arrange 2 days earlier.

Whats to say Ibanez doesn't accept arbitration?

If Ibanez accepts arbitration, no big deal, stick him at DH. He's been one of the most consistent bat in the lineup. If he doesn't, no big deal, get the two picks and rebuild.
