Last month we wondered what the Los Angeles Angels might do once the offseason in regards to right-handers Dan Haren, Ervin Santana and Zack Greinke. Alden Gonzalez of MLB.com reports that the club plans to cut ties with Haren and Santana and push hard to re-sign Greinke.
Greinke will hit free agency after the World Series ends while both Haren and Santana have options for 2013. Santana's is for $13 million while Haren's is worth $15 million, and neither pitcher has exactly earned that kind of money this season.
Haren's track record may still earn him a multi-year deal over the winter -- he has seven straight seasons of 200 innings and a career 3.66 ERA -- but his workload and subsequent struggles this season may scare some clubs away.
Santana was battered for most of the season until his last nine starts, seven of which have been quality. His past four outings may have saved his free agency, as he's been nothing short of dominant.
Gonzalez suggests Greinke could get a 5-year deal worth about $125 million.
