6 DL stints in 6 seasons. This has to be the reason that the price was low. Although, with Beane's track record, he might see something in Murton that no one else does.

Anyways, Chicago is thrilled. If Harden can stay healthy, it really helps a pitching staff that, for the most part, has been pitching over their heads for most of the season.
