Buster Olney of ESPN.com is reporting that Oakland executives will meet next week to discuss the trade value of both RHP’s Dan Haren and Joe Blanton.

According to Olney, Omar Minaya has told the team he is going to make sure he lands a front line starting pitcher this winter, however he will be competing against the Dodgers, Diamondbacks, and possibly the Yankees for Haren and Blanton.
