NEW YORK (AP) -- Dan Haren became a free agent Friday night after the Los Angeles Angels failed to work out a trade and then declined the pitcher's 2013 option. Haren, a three-time All-Star from 2007-09, gets a $3. 5 million buyout under the deal, which included a $15. 5 million club option for 2013. The Angels' decision came after a proposed trade to the Chicago Cubs for closer Carlos Marmol fell apart. Los Angeles also declined to make a $13. 3 million qualifying offer to free-agent outfielder Torii Hunter. "We want to create as much flexibility as we can in our ability to navigate for 2013 and beyond," general manager Jerry Dipoto said.

Key:

  • Aggregate Sentiment is meant to be an indicator of an individual's overall sentiment.
  • The Mean is meant to be an indicator of an individual's average comment sentiment.
  • The Standard Deviation, when there are enough quotes, will indicate an individual's consistency of sentiment (i.e. a Standard Deviation of 0 would mean they were very consistent in their sentiment and 1 would mean they were very inconsistent).

Note that quote stats are likely to be meaningless beyond the aggregate score due to the tiny sample size. However, they are always provided just in case you find something useful there.
