Marmol for Haren is rumored to be a done deal.

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? |

So really, they just added $6M in payroll, and got a terrible reliever (unless someone can control his walk issue). |

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.

It's the Dempster trade fiasco all over again. Good work Theo.
Angels bought out Haren, he is now a free agent. |
