A source tells MLBlogs.com that the Washington Nationals are interested in the services of free-agent John Lackey. Supposedly, they would be competing with the Angels, Red Sox, Yankees and Mets…all teams with more money than them.
We aren’t sure what kind of dough Washington would have to throw at Lackey in order for him to want to play for a loser that no one comes to watch, but we would think it would have to be significantly more than a Yanks or Red Sox offer.
You ever see how pissed off Lackey gets when something goes wrong? Yeah, he’s a baby. A baby that wants to win. So one would have to think that all money being equal (which might not be possible anyway), that Lackey would choose to play for someone that has a chance to make the playoffs.
