Open Thread: Busy afternoon

There’s been some breaking news within the last hour or so, so let’s round it up here:

• The Angels acquired Dan Haren.
• Alex Rodriguez left today’s game after hit by a pitch in the forearm/wrist.
• The Yankees made a “big proposal” for Joakim Soria.
• Al Aceves will join the team for the upcoming road trip.

So there you go. Talk about that stuff, or whatever else you want in this open thread. The ESPN Sunday Night Game features the Cardinals and Cubs (Carpenter vs. Dempster), about the 13th consecutive week the 45-53 Cubs have appeared in the Sunday night game (or is it just me?). Have fun.
