Yankees Tried To Trade For Dan Haren

The New York Yankees tried to acquire Dan Haren from the Washington Nationals earlier in the month but never came close to a deal. The Washington right hander is owed $1,500,000 for the rest of the season and would only make three starts for the Yankees since he would not be eligible for the post season roster so the Yankees passed on a potential trade. With Phil Hughes struggling and David Huff getting lit up by the Red Sox in his only start you can see why the Yankees would want to try to improve the back end of their rotation but that will not happen with Dan Haren unfortunately.
