Fantasy Impact:
Haren has apparently committed to the Marlins for 2015 after months of threatening retirement unless he was traded to the West Coast. If he pitches like he did in the second half of 2014 (3.68 ERA, 7.73 K/9) he may actually hold some fantasy value in deeper leagues. With a better defensive outfield and a more spacious home park, his numbers might improve in 2015.
