According to CBS Sports, the Red Sox are looking at trading for Washington starter John Lannan. The Nationals have let it be known that Lannan is available in a deal. The 27-year old lefty is well under .500 over five seasons (38-51) with a 4.00 ERA.
He has given up 36 more hits than innings pitched over his career, and has an under-whelming WHIP of 1.423. On top of everything, he is owed $5 million this year. All in all, sure sounds like a bad deal for the Carmine Hose.
