Dodgers talk to Reds about Harang trading

Recently the Dodgers talked to the Reds about trading for pitcher Aaron Harang, who is being considered to fill their vacant fourth starter spot. Harang fits the profile which general manager Ned Colletti is looking for. The Dodgers have financial limitations and Harang is guaranteed at least $15 million over the next year if he is traded. Harang landed a $36.5 million deal in 2006-07 but has regressed since. His 2009 season was cut short by a surgery.

However Harang isn't the only option. Two pitchers the Dodgers acquired during the 2009 season, Vicente Padilla and Jon Garland would also qualify, but both of them are looking for multiyear deals, which the club is going to avoid. Anyway it is a good thing while Harang put on a dodgers jersey.
