With three days left until the non-wavier trade deadline, the Yankees are rumored to be interested in adding another starting pitcher after it came down today that Chien Ming Wang is out for the season with shoulder trouble. The Yankees are rumored to be in discussions with the Cincinnati Reds for Bronson Arroyo, who is having a weird season in Cincinnati. He is 10-10 with a 5.17 ERA. At times, he has been as good as any pitcher in the big leagues, and then there are days that he will give up 9 runs in one inning. Arroyo is a former Red Sox and knows a little bit about pitching in Ocotober, and, with the Yankees powerful offense, it won't matter how badly Arroyo pitches.
However, if the Bombers want a more stable option, there are rumors that the Seattle Mariners would be willing to send Jared Washburn to the Yankees. Washburn is having a great year. He is 8-6 with a 2.65 ERA and a 1.05 WHIP. It would be a boon for the Yankees to land Washburn since he is a ground ball pitcher, something they could use in the band box that is the new Yankee Stadium.
