JOHN LANNAN RUMORS & GOSSIP
Why Washington Nationals should keep John Lannan
After the Washington Nationals signed free agent pitcher Edwin Jackson, the common thought around baseball was that John Lannan, who has been with the organization since 2005, was expendable. The lefty would have been potentially one of seven pitchers competing for five starting spots in the rotation and one long-relief role, leaving one hurler in the dust. But what if I told you...

Bourjos for Lannan? Surely You Jest.
Toward the end of his weekly Sunday notes column for the Boston Globe, Nick Cafardo included the following write-up on John Lannan:
annan, 27, is a terrific option as an end-of-the rotation starter now that Washington has signed Edwin Jackson. There is a lot of speculation that the Nationals will deal him to the Angels for center fielder Peter Bourjos, with Mike Trout on the way...

Report: Nationals May Trade John Lannan for Peter Bourjos
In the most recent episode of Nats Talk On The Go, we speculated about who the Washington Nationals would try to acquire in a trade for John Lannan.

Washington Nationals Aggressively Trying To Trade John Lannan
On Thursday the Washington Nationals bolstered their, already pretty strong, starting rotation by signing free-agent pitcher Edwin Jackson to a one-year deal worth roughly $10 million. With the addition of Jackson, and only five available starting spots open, someone has to either be demoted to the bullpen or traded elsewhere, which is exactly what the Nationals are trying to do...

Nationals Trying To Trade John Lannan
Well, it looks like we finally have an aggressive suitor for Edwin Jackson. Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Nationals are trying to trade John Lannan – who just lost his arbitration case and will earn $5 million in 2012 – in order to clear salary to make a run at signing Jackson.
If the Nationals can pull this off, it’d be a pretty neat trick. When you look...

Marlon Byrd for John Lannan Opportunity Exists
So John Lannan lost his arbitration case to the Nationals and wil be paid $5M for next seasons (as opposed to $5.7M he was asking). Now that the money is settled, the Nats are trying to move Lannan for a position player, preferably a center fielder, so that they can sign Edwin Jackson instead.

Nats shopping Lannan, exploring options
The Washington Nationals, even after acquiring left-hander Gio Gonzalez and signing him to a five-year, $42 million extension, might not be done adjusting their starting rotation.
The team is aggressively shopping left-hander John Lannan, according to major-league sources. Trading Lannan would clear payroll, potentially enabling the Nats to sign one of the top remaining free-agent...
