Blue Crack Distributor
OK, so this Fangraphs article is already out of date, due to the most recent news, but based on this paragraph and what just happened, I think the Marlin's are ULTRA-screwed on this deal:

Trading him to the Angels may have been their best option, but now, do the Angels want him at all?Haren’s the most confusing player here. He’s due to make $10 million in 2015, and the Dodgers are agreeing to pay his full salary, but he’s also said that he’ll retire if he’s not around LA. So while Haren would be technically free for the Marlins, he might not throw a single pitch for the Marlins. Maybe he changes his mind. Maybe the Marlins turn around and send Haren to the Angels for something. Regardless, Haren looks like a functional starter, but not a valuable starter, and this trade isn’t about Haren. This is about the Marlins trying to find a long-term second baseman.
