August 5, 200818 yr PHOENIX -- The D-backs have reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension with right-hander Dan Haren. The club is set to announce the deal at a 3 p.m. MST news conference. Haren's current contract runs through 2009, with a club option for 2010. The new deal covers the 2011 and 2012 seasons and includes a club option for 2013. Under the terms of his original deal, he was set to make $5.5 million in 2009, and the 2010 option was for $6.75 million. According to a report on KTAR 620AM, Haren will make a combined $31 million in 2011 and 2012, with a $15.5 million option for 2013. He would have been eligible for free agency at the conclusion of his original contract. The D-backs acquired Haren from Oakland in December in exchange for six prospects, and he has been everything the club had hoped. In 23 starts this year, he is 12-5 with a 2.75 ERA, the fourth-best mark in the National League. Haren, who started the All-Star Game last season for the American League, pitched two shutout innings of relief in this year's game, at Yankee Stadium. http://mlb.mlb.com/news/article.jsp?ymd=20...sp&c_id=mlb
