BOOM!!!
DAN THE DOMINATOR HAREN IS A CUB!!!
Always loved this guy. Just hope his back avoids falling off long enough to either be awesome and sign an extension or get traded for studs at the deadline.
Regardless ... DAN THE DOMINATOR HAREN IS A CUB!!!

Is it official yet? I couldn't find confirmation that it was.
If so, congrats on acquiring an original Cardinal whose best years may be behind him - and who, I believe, may be under contract for only one year.

I heard the Angels were looking to move him and Santana. I hope he stays healthy enough to help them.

Yeah, sounds like Wes may have jumped the gun on this one. According to Twitter reports, it's not a done deal yet.

Jon Heyman said it was.
Then he said it wasn't.

Well, one issue is that Heyman's sources are other writers, and the other is why information about Cub deals has become leakier than a sieve. Theo can't be pleased.

So, wait ... what exactly happened? Did Marmol block the deal? Because, if he did, that would be hilarious.

In the words of Lee Corso, "Not so fast my friend." Need more than a questionable Dan Haren to improve the Cubs.

Ryan - How about Shelby Miller? Cards rotation next year will be fantastic. I saw that they through Kyle Lohse a qualifying offer but arent going hard after him. Pretty nice when you can let Lohse walk based on the young guys coming in. I like Joe Kelly a lot too. Rosenfield was consistently hitting 99/100 in the playoffs and they all got valuable experience. I cannot wait to crush the Cubs again next year.

I can hear it now. Wes will say, "why would I want an original Cardinal whose best years may be behind him - and who, I believe, may be under contract for only one year."
You made it too easy, Ryan!
