Now that the Chicago Cubs are officially looking forward to a fresh championship run next season, veteran right-hander Dan Haren can ride off into the sunset after one final postseason ride he was looking for.
According to Haren’s personal Twitter handle, the 35-year-old hurler thanked the game of baseball itself and mentioned that he had taken off his jersey for the final time following Chicago’s loss to the New York Mets at Wrigley Field.
On July 31, the day of the non-waiver trade deadline, the Cubs acquired Haren from the Miami Marlins in exchange for prospects Elliot Soto and Ivan Pineyro with the goal of pitching with a team who was on their way to the postseason.
