Dan Haren traded to the Cubs for...Carlos Marmol???

Does anyone else find this trade to be rather lop-sided? I mean, I know the Angels were aiming to save money, but damn.

I am a bit curious about the cubs objective as well...i keep getting mixed messages as to what the cubs are doing

?! And the CUBS take the deal off the table?! "Marmol would have approved a trade to the Angels, but the Cubs pulled the deal off of the table, a source tells Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports (via Twitter). The Angels are still talking with other clubs about Haren as they close in on the 11pm CST deadline to exercise his $15.5MM option."
