To say I love perusing Dan Haren’s twitter would be an understatement. He is a titan of self-deprecating humor, and even his twitter handle, @ithrow88, will bring a smile to your face. Haren only spent a short time with the Miami Marlins after being acquired via trade from the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2015, but his tenure with the team wasn’t without drama.
Upon being traded from the Dodgers, Haren considered retirement because Miami’s beaches and warmth reminded him nothing of southern California he did not want to move far away from his family.
