Jarrod Washburn to Milwaukee?

9:15 PM: Tom Haudricourt:

"I know for a fact that the Brewers have been discussing Washburn, even though he is a free agent after the season. Because Washburn is a Wisconsin native, maybe the Brewers think they could convince him to stay with another contract after this year."

Haudricourt notes the M's would probably ask for a shortstop in return, naming J.J. Hardy and Alcides Escobar as possible trade chips. I doubt that Alcides Escobar is going anywhere.

"The Brewers probably would want more than Washburn in return for either shortstop," Haudricourt adds, "considering his pending free agent status."

9:06 PM:Geoff Baker thinks the Brewers might trade for Jarrod Washburn.

"Brewers pitcher Seth McClung went on the 15-day DL on Saturday and today, the Brewers called up Tim Dillard from Class AAA Nashville. But here's the wierd thing: the Brewers are refusing to name Dillard as their Tuesday starter." Might it be Washburn? Or someone else?
