JDsDirtySox Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 Marmol for Haren is rumored to be a done deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiliIrishHammock24 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I don't understand this. Why would the Cubs want to add payroll, and get older at the same time? They aren't competing while Haren is under contract (2013). If they just wanted to dump Marmol, they should have cut payroll too. UNLESS this is all just to move Haren elsewhere either this offseason or in July. He has tons of success in the NL, so maybe they want to boost his stock, and trade him midseason?

Rowand44 Posted November 2, 2012 Share Posted November 2, 2012 I look at this the complete opposite away, this trade makes 0 sense for LAA imo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So really, they just added $6M in payroll, and got a terrible reliever (unless someone can control his walk issue). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chw42 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 I don't even know what to think of this trade. It's one team's garbage for another team's garbage...except one team's garbage has a guaranteed contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleHurt05 Posted November 3, 2012 Share Posted November 3, 2012 It's the Dempster trade fiasco all over again. Good work Theo. Angels bought out Haren, he is now a free agent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
