The Chicago Cubs have found an answer for their pitching needs, acquiring right-hander Dan Haren from the Miami Marlins.
Clark Spencer of the Miami Herald first reported Haren was being traded to Chicago. Spencer added the Marlins will receive minor-league shortstop Elliott Soto and minor-league pitcher Ivan Pineyro in the deal.
The Cubs have been in the market for pitching leading up to the trade deadline. They had been connected to frontline starters like Cole Hamels and David Price, as noted by CSNChicago.com, but both players wound up getting dealt to other teams.
