Dan Haren Traded To Angels For Three Pitchers And Player To Be Named Later

Adds Ed Price:

Haren’s current 4.60 ERA is the highest it’s been since he was a rookie, but his strikeout and walk rates are as good as they’ve ever been, and he’s never been on the disabled list. He is, therefore, a very attractive and talented frontline starter. However, the no-trade clause and the fact that he’s under contract for a reasonable price through 2012 makes him more difficult to acquire, as some teams will be no-gos, and Arizona will have to be impressed with any offer.
