I think the deal was done by Oakland because Harden has been struggling to go 5 of late and will probably be back on the DL about 2 starts after the all-star break but the Cubs still gave up virtually nothing impact wise for him.

I'll say this sounds really similar to the Hudson deal, in the Oak took a stab at quantity for a guy they feel is damaged goods.
And how did that deal work out for them? Are any of those guys amount to anything? Hudson seems to be A-OK This pkg for not one ..but TWO pitchers, seems pretty weak...IF..IF...IF HArden stays healthy of course..and if he does..Beane blows another one to me..
