If trade is finalized, Marmol would help #Angels bullpen–went 3-3 w/3.42 ERA and 20 saves–but not save much $. He makes $9.8 mill next yr.—

The Angels had been shopping Haren after he finished 12-13 with a 4.33 ERA in 30 starts in what was considered a sub-par season.
Marmol posted 20 saves and a 3.42 ERA in 61 appearances in 2012 and has saved 115 games in six seasons with the Cubs.
