The trade was Dan Haren for Joe Saunders, Patrick Corbin, Rafael Rodríguez, and a PTBNL (Tyler Skaggs), Haren was under contract for 2011 and 2012 at $12.75MM per season with a club option for 2013 of $15.5MM ($3.5MM buyout), while Saunders was arbitration eligible for the 2011 season and a free agent after that. Haren started 78 times, averaging an ERA of 3.45, struck out 409 batters while only walking 102 which is about a 4 KK/BB ratio.  Haren threw 509 innings and posted a record of 33-27, though he missed time in 2012 with a back injury.
