Dan Haren Traded to the Cubs for Two MiLBers

[Jay]

By prospects they mean career minor leaguers or 25 year old AA relievers?

[emkayseven]

Glad we got anything for him, as long as it isn't junk 25 year olds I'm happy

[Bobbob1313]

Yeah, don't really understand that. Just because the people writing the story don't know the names doesn't mean the fans don't.

They usually just don't actually know the names. once they do, they report them.

#Marlins receiving SS Elliott Soto and RHP Ivan Pineyro from Cubs

[MiamiHomer]

Well one of them is a 25 yr old

[Miamarlin21]

Pineyro was on MLB.com's top 30 at one point.

[emkayseven]

Soto is trash, not sure why we'd even want him, but I do like Pineyro

[dim]

Pineyro's cool. Soto is nothing more than minor league fodder though.

[Miamarlin21]

Soto apparently is really good defensively.

[dim]

Soto apparently is really good defensively.

Of course he is. Unfortunately, we already have a better version of this guy in Miguel Rojas already in our system. I don't think he'll ever see a major league field.

[tjfla]

Pineyro is atleast a decent prospect. Soto will be 26 in AA is 5'9 160 will be in his 6th yr and has already been popped 2 times for a drug of abuse

Donovan Solano better start looking to sell his house. Rojas,Nola,Soto

[Jay]

Better return than I expected. Not understanding the market on Latos and Haren right now.

Also Solano was gone end of year anyways.

[Namaste]

Cubs fans will love Haren when the wind is blowing out of Wrigley.

[Bobbob1313]

Pineyro is better than anyone they got in the Latos deal, right?

[tjfla]

Pineyro is better than anyone they got in the Latos deal, right?

Yep. Brigham could be better once arm is back

[Swifty]

Pretty solid return.
