You can. Just not for 30 days... which means first week of September. 2. Because they can't carry him to the playoffs, and no one's going to want to take his 2009 craptabulous salary on for 2-3 starts out of someone who can't be on a playoff roster. 3. Teams who bought into his June-July success as an actual sustainable improvement will have the scales fall from their eyes, for one. But if teams who might have had a disproportionate reward from reaching the playoffs were unwilling to give up anything for him, why after the season? Why, this off-season, would anyone trade for Jarrod when they'll be able to do better on the FA market? See previous posts on these subjects. 1. You can.

If teams were willing to take his contract on before, why wouldn't they take him if we put him on waivers again? Also, why does not getting rid of him now mean that we're stuck with him next season?

Washburn on the other hand costs $13M. Definition of a replacement level pitcher situation if I've ever seen one.

I mean, it's not like we have two other struggling starting pitchers signed to huge contracts next year. Hey, it’s okay to be stuck with Washburn another year.
