According to Fox Sports and Mike Salk of ESPN radio in Seattle, the Tigers acquired pitcher Jarrod Washburn from the Mariners.  In return, Seattle will get pitcher Luke French and another prospect.   Various sources, including MLB Network are reporting that the other prospect is pitcher Mauricio Robles.

MLBTR reports:

Washburn, a Scott Boras client and free agent after the season, projects as a Type B.  If the Tigers offer arbitration to Washburn after the season and he signs elsewhere, they’ll get a supplemental draft pick.  The risk is that he could accept and the Tigers would owe him more than $10MM in 2010.  Washburn has managed to post a 2.64 ERA in 133 innings this year.
