White Sox interested in Nats' Hanrahan

There are reports that the White Sox have interest in right-hander Joel Hanrahan. It's not known what the Nationals want in return. As of 3:00 p.m. ET, Hanrahan didn't hear anything about being traded to the White Sox.

There was an earlier report that the White Sox were close to acquiring Nationals left-hander John Lannan, but he is the ace of Washington's staff and they have nothing to replace him.
