Jon Heyman of CBSSports.com has the scoop:
The Dodgers are showing interest in Pirates closer Joel Hanrahan, but they have a little company. The Red Sox are said to have an interest as well.
The Bucs would presumably want a starting pitcher (or multiple starting pitchers) in return, which makes the Dodgers a nice fit because they’re looking to unload both Chris Capuano and Aaron Harang.
Hanrahan boasts a spectacular 2.24 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 9.0 K/9 in 128 1/3 innings since the start of the 2011 season and has converted 76 saves in 84 opportunities for the Pirates during that span.
The 31-year-old is entering his third and final season of arbitration-eligibility. He made $4.1 million in 2012.
Jason Grilli would probably take over ninth-inning duties in Pittsburgh if Hanrahan is dealt this winter.
