Batter's Box reader Max Parkinson gave us the heads on a deal that sends Aaron Wideman to the Jays in exchange for the Nationals being allowed to send former Jay and Rule 5 draftpick Ty Godwin to the minor leagues. This trade has been confirmed by TSN.ca.

Wideman is a 19 year-old left-handed starter from Mississauga, who was drafted in the 11th round by the Expos in the 2003 draft. In 2 minor league seasons he has a 5-5 record with 20 walks, 75 strikeouts and an ERA of 1.91 in 20 games (85 innings).
