Goodwill from Gotham?

Jayson Stark's latest says the Yankees are interested in Jarrod Washburn, but only in order to help Seattle, which can't afford the languishing lefty for the duration of his huge contract.

Sorry, but I don't think the Yankees do anything "goodwill," and this article from the New York Times would seem to suggest that there's a good deal of motive behind acquiring Washburn.

Fantasy Impact: With a series of strong starts Washburn is getting back to respectability after an awful start to his year. With an ERA at 4.75 (and falling) some Yankees offense would net him some extra wins. Consider him if a deal goes through.
