"Another major deal involving another big-time player as another trade deadline nears and…whoa…this one actually does feature the Angels.

We have no idea today if Dan Haren will be a great addition or Joe Saunders a terrible loss or Patrick Corbin a long-term regret.

But we love the fact the Angels decided to take this chance, that they had the conviction and fortitude to do it.

We love that general manager Tony Reagins was aggressive in securing a front-line starting pitcher everyone else knew was available, too.

We love that manager Mike Scioscia wasn't content waiting for his players to do something as Texas threatened to end this race without a true chase."
