"Since 2006, the Nationals have undergone seven arbitration hearings, winning five of the seven disputes.

After today, you can chalk up another win for the Nationals.

One day after holding an arbitration meeting with pitcher John Lannan, it's being reported the Nationals won out, meaning the left-hander will earn the Nationals' offer of $5 million in 2012.

The meeting was held Wednesday to determine whether the left-hander would earn $5.7 million he and his CAA representatives requested in 2012, or the $5 million offered by the Nationals."
