Rumored Dan Haren for Carlos Marmol deal falls apart, Angels decline veteran?s option (Big League Stew)

After dealing Ervin Santana to the Kansas City Royals on Wednesday, it was believed Los Angeles Angels general manager Jerry Dipoto still had one more big trade to make in regards to reshaping his starting rotation. On Friday night, it appeared that shoe was ready to drop as several sources, beginning with Yancen Pujols , reported that right-hander Dan Haren had been traded to the Chicago Cubs in exchange for Carlos Marmol.
All indications were that� Marmol was on board with the trade , which was a key due to his ability to veto the deal.�Once CBS Sports' Jon Heyman confirmed it via Twitter just before 8 p.m. ET, it all but seemed like a done deal. But, as was the case with the nearly completed Cubs trade sending Ryan Dempster to the Atlanta Braves back in July, bumps in the road began popping up at every turn, and just before 10:30 ET it was reported to be "not happening" by MLB.com's Carrie Muskat.
Muskat later posted a Carlos Marmol trade timeline , which proved to be just as wild a roller coaster ride as many of Marmol's save opportunities.
