The Detroit Tigers finally made a move and then made it with about five hours left before the trade deadline. Starting Pitcher Jarrod Washburn is now a Tiger. He's a very nice addition to the Tigers rotation and is also a lefty. Washburn has been having a great season posting a 8-6 record with a 2.64 ERA (3rd in AL) while giving up just 109 hits over 133 innings with 33 walks and 79 strikeouts.
The Tigers had to give up Luke French and Mauricio Robles. Overall I feel this was a very good deal. French has been decent starting for the Tigers and Robles has some promise but for the Tigers to get a very solid start I feel its a pretty cheap price. They didn't get Halladay but they got the next best pitcher left on the market.
Washburn will be around Detroit only for this season I believe. His agent is Scott Boras and we all know how he negotiates.
Great Deal for the Tigers, is this the last move for the Tigers, we'll find out soon. The trade deadline is 4 pm ET.
