Would have been nice to make this trade before he made his start yesterday. Now have to have another spot guy go on Sunday when it could have been Haren

2 minor leaguers for Haren, 1 positional, 1 pitcher

I think they really thought they were getting Ross. Gambled and lost. Still Haren is better than the Beeler, Wada, Richard bum show.

Haren to the Cubs. Haven't heard who they are giving up.

The Cubs have agreed to acquire righty Dan Haren from the Marlins, Gordon Wittenmyer of the Chicago Sun-Times reports on Twitter. The return remains unreported, but will consist of two minor leaguers, one pitcher and one position player, per MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro

Assuming no big assets are going back this is a smart move.
Pretty nice stats for an old man looking to retire.

Haren is meh... better than throwing shit at the wall every fifth day but he is due for a downward spiral looking at his stats.

Haren is a solid #5. I wonder what we gave up to get him. Hopefully we aren't done, I'd like one more move to be made

What are ya looking for? Closer maybe? Or a bat?

I think Rondon is fine at closer for us, Kimbrel would cost us too much. I'd like to get a bat, even if that means trading Castro to get Baez up at 2B. I love me some Castro, and I do believe that he won't be this bad forever, but I think Baez will be something special.

 

[Grizzly]

I just need to go on the record as saying trading Baez will be a big mistake.

Ivan Pinyero and Elliott Soto. Rule 5 guys and an easy trade.

Very easy trade. We should still be in the race for Ross then, no?

 

[DJMoore_is_fat]

Castro still here? I thought he was traded 7 times by now. Da fuq?

San Diego offered up two boston creme donuts but Jed and Theo were holding out for three.

Maybe but I think they realized it was no sure thing and went for Haren. Maybe they still get Kimbrel from San Diego.

I really don't want Kimbrel. Not because i think he isn't great; he is, but we'd have to give up a lot to get him. I'm fine with Rondon closing

 

[Parade_Rain]

Baez for Kimbrel, do you do it?

No.

Cubs still in on Ross according to multiple reports. Haren was insurance. That's very smart.

Told ya!

I'm a little freaked out by about what we'd have to give up for Ross.

1:45pm: San Diego and Chicago are primarily working directly together on a deal, tweets Nightengale, who says that they may not need the involvement of a third team to swing a major deal.
