According to several sources, the Steinbrenner family has given GM Brian Cashman the financial go-ahed to acquire lefty Jarrod Washburn from the Mariners, a move that is expected to be completed shortly. While the Yankees won't part with high-level prospects, if the Mariners want something better than what the Yankees are willing to give, the Mariners are going to have to take Kei Igawa Kei Igawa , who yesterday was out-righted to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and is no longer on the 40-man roster. Igawa is in the second year of a five-year deal worth $20 million.
