Edwin Jackson limited the Braves to one run and two hits over six innings to win Thursday. A Jason Heyward homer accounted for the only damage. Jackson, who usually struggles during spring training, lowered his ERA from 6.88 to 5.48 with the performance.

Edwin Jackson was pounded for 10 runs -- seven earned -- in 3 2/3 innings by the Orioles on Saturday. Jackson made quick work of the O's for two frames before falling apart in the third. His spring ERA stands at 6.88, but that's nothing new for him. He hasn't finished with a sub-5.00 ERA in spring training since 2009.

Edwin Jackson allowed four runs -- two earned -- over 3 1/3 innings in Tuesday's start against the Tigers. Jackson allowed five hits (including a two-run homer by Ryan Raburn in the first inning) and walked a pair while throwing 36 out of 64 pitches for strikes. The home run was set up by a fielding error by left fielder Jason Michaels, so both runs were unearned. Jackson has a 1.93 ERA and 5/4 K/BB ratio over 9 1/3 innings this spring and should be useful in mixed fantasy leagues this season.

Edwin Jackson blanked the Astros for four innings to pick up a victory on Thursday. Jackson allowed a pair of singles, walked none and struck out three in the easy outing. He has a chance to be a pretty good mixed-league starter this season.

According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, Edwin Jackson turned down a three-year offer form the Pirates. The proposal was reportedly worth around $30 million. E-Jax instead chose to sign a one-year, $11 million contract with Washington, where he'll be starting around half of his games in a pitcher-friendly environment. The hard-throwing right-hander can hit the free agent market again in the fall at the age of 29.

Jim Duquette of MLB Network Radio reports that Edwin Jackson will receive $11 million on his one-year deal with the Nationals, though $2 million of it is deferred. Duquette also adds that Jackson turned down two three-year offers worth in the vicinity of $20-25 million, instead hoping he can cash in during free agency next offseason. The 28-year-old went 12-9 with a 3.79 ERA and 1.44 WHIP with the White Sox and Cardinals last season and posted a 5.60 ERA in four postseason outings for St. Louis.

Nationals signed RHP Edwin Jackson to a one-year contract. The Nationals have announced the signing, though it is pending a physical. Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that he'll make somewhere in the range of $10 million. It's a nice value for the Nationals, who suddenly have a pretty formidable starting rotation. Jackson should slot behind Stephen Strasburg, Jordan Zimmermann and Gio Gonzalez while John Lannan, Chien-Ming Wang and Ross Detwiler currently project to compete for the fifth spot. The Red Sox and Orioles were also mentioned as possible landing spots for Jackson recently, but joining the Nationals and staying in the National League was probably the best way to go if he hopes to keep his value intact and test free agency again next offseason.

According to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com, Edwin Jackson's one-year deal with the Nationals is believed to be worth between $8-12 million.

Gordon Edes of ESPNBoston.com was told by a source that the Red Sox are "most likely out of the picture" for free agent right-hander Edwin Jackson. The Red Sox have made Jackson an offer -- a one-year deal worth between $5-6 million, according to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe -- but Edes was told that there are better offers on the table from other clubs. It was reported over the weekend that Jackson has received multiple three-year offers, but it's not clear where they are coming from. The Orioles have been mentioned as a possibility while the Cardinals have reportedly checked in on the right-hander.

According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, the Red Sox have offered free agent right-hander Edwin Jackson a one-year deal worth between $5-6 million. It was recently reported that Jackson is open to accepting one-year offers, but the Red Sox might have to do better than $5-6 million to reel him in. The 28-year-old Scott Boras client is likely seeking something closer to $10-$12 million for 2012. He can then become a free agent again in the fall, and will be only be 29 years of age.
