Seriously? We really must not have wanted Haren. Marmol is subtraction by addition.

Can't he throw like a 93 MPH unhittable slider?

At the bat boy in the dugout?

why would the cubs want him? They are not going to be anywhere close to good this year.

July trade bait.

Thanks for the replies.

The Angels would have been better served just giving him his $3 mil to go away. As it stands, they save a couple million but are stuck with a $10 mil reliever who can't throw strikes. Marmol is kind of like HRod, just paid a lot more.

What a crappy trade.

Rizzo better have something better than Haren in mind.

7:56pm: Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com (via Twitter) hears that the deal has not been completed and the Angels are still active in discussions with more than one team.

already some offseason drama going on.

Offer H-Rod for Haren.

Hamilton asked for 7/175

JCA-CrystalCity · « **Reply #1111:** November 02, 2012, 09:14:29 PM »

5/125 might be reasonable.

Slateman · « **Reply #1112:** November 02, 2012, 09:30:00 PM »

He'll get it

BigMeech · « **Reply #1113:** November 02, 2012, 09:34:01 PM »

If Rizzo isn't looking at GRIENKE then fire him.

BigMeech · « **Reply #1114:** November 02, 2012, 09:35:50 PM »

And by look at him, I don't want just the kind of passing glance you give a somewhat attractive woman on the street. I want a nice, long, seductive stare.

you can look but you can't touch

Halos are getting Grienke. Then their failure will be complete

BigMeech · « **Reply #1118:** November 02, 2012, 09:44:02 PM »

Nobody thought the Phillies were getting Cliff Lee in 2010 IIRC. Came as a surprise to most.

Give Rizzo a blank check. Let him flourish.

Psh .... Grienke will have a nervous breakdown

but we'd have a nervous breakdown if H-Rod pitches, so if we release him, the Force is in balance.

Imagine how much booze, coke, meth and very average looking women you can buy with $175,000,000!!!

Nats did not make a qualifying offer to Jackson - that's weird. Did he tell them that he would accept the QO?

KnorrForYourMoney · « **Reply #1123:** November 02, 2012, 10:07:56 PM »

I hope the Dodgers sign Greinke and it bankrupts them so bad that Stan Kasten has to drink malt liquor out of a ditch in Modesto.

Haren to Cubs not happening according to MLBTR.
