Buzz: D’Backs have Package for Haren

by Matthew Cerrone on December 4th, 2007 at 2:18 pm

According to the Boston Herald, the A’s and D’Backs have had ‘constructive talks’ about a deal that will send A’s RHP Dan Haren to Arizona for 1B Conor Jackson and OF Carlos Gonzalez along with two more players to Oakland. 

However, the Arizona Republic writes that Jackson is not included in the offer.

as i wrote this morning, i’m starting to worry about the Tigers and D’Backs, who, from what i understand, are throwing their weight around the trade market, while looking for a starting pitcher

as i said, the D’Backs are rumored to have interest in the same set of pitchers as the Mets, but can dangle OF Conor Jackson, OF Carlos Gonzalez, and newly acquired Chris Carter, among others, during their efforts

…so, i’m glad to see it is Dan Haren who they are most seriously targeting, since i believe haren is the least likely of the bunch to end up in queens
