Haren Says He'd Love To Pitch For Cardinals Again

The Cardinals traded Dan Haren prior to the 2005 season, but the right-hander is open to a return.

Haren, who was dealt to the Athletics and then the Diamondbacks, is coveted by many teams.

"I've always said I'd like to play here again," said Haren, who had a record of 6-10 in parts of the 2003 and 2004 seasons.

"The fans are so good. Even being six years removed now, they still treat me with the utmost respect. Walking around the city today, a few people stopped me. In some cities, they?ll stop you and want your autograph to take a picture. Here, they say, 'Hi,' and they shake your hand.

"That's why it's different."

Diamondbacks Won't Hold Fire Sale

Diamondbacks general manager Josh Byrnes insists that a fire sale is not forthcoming.

Byrnes certainly hasn't ruled out swinging a few trades, but an all-out gutting isn't going to happen this summer.

"We probably need to make adjustments with our roster and the cost of our roster," said Byrnes, who already dealt left fielder Conor Jackson to Oakland on Tuesday. "There really isn't any one player we have to trade.

"We'll explore a lot of possibilities and see where we end up. I do think a lot of our players are guys we value and want to keep and I think if we're going to make trades, we'll have to get the type of things - particularly young pitching depth - that would make sense to us."
