Dan Haren Trade did not go through. So before the 9pm Friday dateline the Angels declined Dan Haren's option of $15.5 million, so they paid the $3.5 million buyout. After Dipoto tried to make something happen he was not able to. However, don't roll out Dan Haren coming back to the Angels with a one year contact. (MLB)

To be honest I was not sure how i felt about this trade if it would have gone through because Carlos was owed $9.8 million which is a lot for a reliever that has some times pitched when he wants to pitch. Don't get me wrong when he is on he is good but that's only when he is motivated to pitch. When Carlos does not want to pitch he walk a lot of batters and is not very reliable.

Not having Haren or Santana this year, the Angels really need to sign Zack Greinke and make sure the Rangers don't sign him . He will be a very good 1-2 punch with CJ and Richards at the back end.
