Haren is on Friday, not sure why though.

I dunno. Rosenthal via LA Times said Friday for Haren:

Lets not pretend like the Royals gave up anything of value, just a 27 year old reliever who's never pitched in the majors before.

**gaughan333** · 10-31-2012, 05:20 PM

That gives me hope that Haren wont cost much

Hmm... Qualifying offers are due Friday. Maybe that has something to do with it? I need to read the CBA again.

They didn't give up anything of value, but they took on $13 million for a -0.9 fWAR pitcher.

It's the Royals, you really think they're paying the full 13 million?

Just a hunch but I think he will be a free agent. I would love to have him as well as Carlos V and Anibal S.

**gaughan333** · 10-31-2012, 05:25 PM

It's a lot of money, but its a short commitment

I think if they're not being paid $6 million or so beyond his contract, it's worth the LOL.

Aren't going to get him on a 1 year deal as a Free Agent though.

I agree in part...unless he feels he can build up value if that velo comes back. I would love to ship them some bullpen arm Named Carlos Marmol.

I think he'd look for at least 2 years with option in case what you stated above goes the opposite way. Guess neither of us can be sure til it happens.

I kind of like the idea of a Peavy like contact with 2 years and an option if he meets some certain contingency

I think I could live with 2 yrs 19 million. Does SB even post here anymore?
