The Arizona Diamondbacks completed two major trades on Friday. First, they acquired right-hander Danny Haren from the Oakland Athletics for top-flight prospect Carlos Gonzalez and five other minor-leaguers, including pitcher Dana Eveland. The 27-year old Haren went 15-9 with a 3.07 ERA last season. He also struck out 192 in 222.2 innings.
Arizona then shipped closer Jose Valverde to the Houston Astros in exchange for reliever Chad Qualls, utility man Chris Burke, and right-handed prospect Juan Gutierrez. Valverde led the majors in saves last year with 47. He posted a 2.66 ERA and fanned 78 in 64.1 innings of work.
