justBLAZE Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 (edited) "There are 48 hours to go before the trade deadline and it remains to be seen if the Nationals will dig in and make an attempt to sign Adam Dunn. If they don't, they'd have two choices -- either keep him through the end of the year, which really wouldn't make any sense, or try to trade him. The White Sox have been aggressive, but are not well-armed to go after him. You wonder if the teams most motivated to get him will, in the end, be the Rays and the Yankees -- not only to land him for themselves, but to keep him out of the hands of their division rival. Imagine Dunn hitting 5th for the Rays, or second for the Yankees. The Nationals say they're not engaged with the NYY at the moment, but the NYY seem to be hovering --as are the Rays."

southsider2k5 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Can the Nationals risk another Soriano situation where they only get draft picks for a top guy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EvilJester99 Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 So in other words... noone has any freakin idea where Dunn is going at the moment and they are still guessing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A massive upgrade over Mark Kotsay and a little hope that the Sox could improve upon their near league worst production from the left side of the plate. (.247/.314/.334/.647, only ahead of the .644 OPS Mariners for 14th in the AL, WAY behind the .724 OPS A's for12th) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spiderman Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Still wouldn't be surprised at anything the Sox do (or don't do) whether it's nothing given the lack of minor league talent, finding a way to land Dunn, or turning to pitching for a veteran starter who can eat innings.

Frank_Thomas Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Either this is BS and KW is playing possum with Rizzo, or Rizzo is indeed content with gettig nothing but draft picks for Dunn. Let him try to get teams to overpay, Kenny has a line he isn't willing to pay for a rentle. I just hope we still look to add something we need a bat.

G&T Posted July 29, 2010 Share Posted July 29, 2010 Look at the deals for Haren and Oswalt. Can someone justify paying considerably more for Dunn than what was paid in those deals? Those are top of the rotation starters. They aren't Cliff Lee, but neither is Dunn. The price is going to have to drop because nothing about the deals that have been done tells me that the price is going to rise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I need to go change my pants. Would love to add some of that sweet, sweet oppo power to a team that doesn't hit a lot of balls out the other way.

I'm really setting myself up for a monumental let down on Saturday evening when the deadline passes and we don't make a move for an impact bat, it's just really hard not to get excited when you're reading every single report out there.
