The Chicago Cubs agreed to acquire veteran right-hander Dan Haren from the Miami Marlins in the hours before the trading deadline, sources confirmed Friday.
Two games back in the National League wild-card race, the Cubs sought stability behind Jon Lester, Jake Arrieta, Jason Hammel and Kyle Hendricks.
The Marlins will receive shortstop Elliott Soto and right-hander Ivan Pineyro, according to Miami Herald.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported the trade first.
Haren, 34, will be a free agent after the season. The Cubs will be his fifth team since 2012, a journey that has taken him from Anaheim to Washington to Los Angeles to Miami to the North Side. This season has been his best of those, posting a 3.42 ERA and 1.093 WHIP in 21 starts.
