I hope we're in on Dan Haren. The Angels have until 9pm (11pm our time I think) Friday night to work out a trade for him. If we're willing to pay $12MM for Santana, we'd have to be willing to pay that for Haren as well, especially since we can save a ton of money by cutting Hoch. I presume we're probably one of the 12 teams on his no-trade list, but maybe Ervin Santana coming here will convince him to waive that.
Reports are that Haren's no trade list was reduced to 8 as part of his contract in 2011.

The Tigers and Twins have been on his no-trade list in the past, as well as the Yankees and Red Sox. I'm not sure it's a given the Royals are one of the 8 teams remaining on it.
