Snakes sign Haren to 4-year extension

All-Star pitcher Dan Haren and the Arizona Diamondbacks have agreed to terms on a 4-year extension, a contract which will pay Haren $44.75 million through the 2012 season, and a club option for 2013. With Haren locked up, now the Diamondbacks can turn their attention to their other ace Brandon Webb and locking him up to give the Snakes a potent 1-2 punch for many years down the road.
