At least its not the Cards.
I love the Angels, so I love this deal. However, I have to ask the Diamondbacks what the heck they were doing with this. I'll wait for confirmation of the three prospects, but if they got out of this without Mike Trout or Hank Conger or any number of their top tier guys, they failed miserably in trading Haren.
Angels deal for Haren
Reportedly, it's for Saunders, Patrick Corbin, Rafael Rodriguez and a PTBNL...

The Los Angeles Angels acquired Dan Haren from the Arizona Diamondbacks for pitcher Joe Saunders, two minor league pitchers, left hander Patrick Corbin and right hander Rafael Rodriguez, and a player to be named.
Haren is 7-8 with a 4.60 ERA this season. He has struck out 141 and walked 29 in 141 innings this season.
Entering Sunday, the Angels are six games back of the AL West-leading Texas Rangers.
I'm guessing the PTBNL is someone from last year's draft, although that's not a given.

How could you even begin to assess the trade until you know who the prospects are?
Those better be some darn good prospects, Saunders is a 4th/5th starter type in a good year...

The player to be named later is a top prospect, a source tells Nick Piecoro of the Arizona Republic (via Twitter). They will choose the PTBNL from a short list, tweets Jon Heyman of SI, but it won't include 2009 first-round selection Mike Trout, according to Jeff Passan of Yahoo (via Twitter). A D'Backs official says that the PTBNL is "outstanding", tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports.
Well, there is really no SP available to the Reds that is really that much of an upgrade over current in house options.
Oswalt's contract and demands to have his 2012 option picked up, before you even know he is going to make it through 2011 healthy damn near makes him untradible to more than a handful of teams and the Reds are not one of those teams. A hurt Oswalt in 2011 or 2012 would handicap this roster beyond belief going forward. No way I would ever take that gamble.
