Following Up on the Dan Haren Rumors

On the ESPN.com Winter Meetings blog, Amy Nelson reports that Oakland isn't interested in a trade for Dan Haren unless both Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller are part of the deal.

2:33 p.m., from Amy Nelson
* The A's are looking to move Dan Haren -- but only for the right deal. They reached out to the Tigers and asked for Cameron Maybin and Andrew Miller, but Detroit won't trade both, two baseball sources said. Oakland won't come to the table without those two players included in any talks.

Haren's good...

...but no team in their right mind would give up THAT MUCH for him. If you make the deal Miller and pick a prospect(s), with Maybin off the table, then I'd be sorely tempted to pull the trigger.

I agree

I think the Tigers have enough prospects to include with Miller as a centerpiece to make a deal for Haren. Oakland (and A's fans) might disagree with that - at least for now - but no way I'd give up both those guys for a pitcher not named Johan Santana.

Miguel Cabrera, on the other hand... I might have to think about that.
