Nationals Starter Lannan On Sox Radar

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.
