Analysis:

Haren had expressed a desire to pitch on the west coast, and even considered retirement at one point, but he has now decided to join the Marlins instead. The 34-year-old was traded to the club from the Dodgers in the offseason, and will now serve in a decent group of pitchers in the Marlins' rotation.
