Rumored to be open to a 1yr deal.
A package headlined by Jackson netted the Jays Rasmus. Why wouldn't the M's float a $8mil/1yr offer with the intent to flip Jackson at the deadline?
With the new amateur draft rules, this tactic seems like one of the few ways left to acquire more 'spects.
Would prefer a Felix/Jackson/Vargas/Iwakuma/Millwood rotation to start the season. Z is obviously not averse to the idea of almost completely turning over a starting roation, so the possibility that 3/5 of the staff may not be pitching in Seattle after the deadline would not trouble him. Would leave Furbush, Noesi, and Beaven battling for the swingman position and gives Paxton, Hultzen and Erasmo time to find their groove in Tacoma.
Lots of room for extra hurlers on this team. Almost half of the 25-man roster is ttypically reserved for pitchers. Edwin could be a fit, no?
