wow. The SP pitching market is very thin, the Angels are unloading all this payroll to probably sign Greinke. We weren't getting him, but if he re-signs we're competing with other teams who would have wanted Greinke.

I hope we're in on Dan Haren. The Angels have until 9pm (11pm our time I think) Friday night to work out a trade for him. If we're willing to pay $12MM for Santana, we'd have to be willing to pay that for Haren as well, especially since we can save a ton of money by cutting Hoch. I presume we're probably one of the 12 teams on his no-trade list, but maybe Ervin Santana coming here will convince him to waive that.
