Haren Gets a Raise
The Arizona Diamondbacks tear up Dan Haren's contract and sign him through 2012 with an option for 2013:
The contract, which nullifies Haren's previous deal, is worth $41.25 million over the next four seasons and includes a $15.5 million option for 2013 with a $3.5 million buyout.
Haren will be paid $7.5 million in 2009, $8.25 million in '10, $12.75 million in '11 and $12.75 million in '12.
Given his Cy Young type season, it's still cheap. Great move by the Diamondbacks
