Media outlets continue to report that the A's are shopping Haren and want a similar package of players to the one demanded by the Twins for Santana.  So, we're out of it, right?

Haren is under contract for the next three years for a total of $16.25 million.  Wow.

So while we know that Boston or the Yankees will get Santana, why not try to add an excellent pitcher with a truly excellent contract?

Would you trade Adam Miller, Trevor Crowe, and Paul Byrd -- while eating half of Byrd's 2008 contract?  I'm starting on the extreme end here.
