GGajewski18 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 32m #SFGiants, #Athletics pursuing Dunn, per SI’s Tom Verducci. Lot of chatter among scouts yesterday that Dunn could be on move. Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 31m #WhiteSox’s Dunn has limited no-trade clause. Teams on it not known, but #Athletics frequently appear on players’ no-trade lists. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackSox13 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Please let there be truth to this! How desperate are the Giants? Desperate enough to play Dunn at 1B? Kinda makes me think Oakland is a more likely landing spot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabiness42 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 I would think Dunn would waive it for a chance to compete? /fingerscrossed Yes, I would think Dunn would go there now. Big difference between being traded with 2 years left on your contract and 4 weeks left. He can hold his nose and tolerate Oakland for a month.

GGajewski18 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 (edited) Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 4m The Chicago White Sox are discussing possible trades involving slugger Adam Dunn with the Oakland Athletics and Dodgers. Beat me to it flavum. And my bad, didn't know you posted the Dunn news in the Wilkins thread. Edited August 31, 2014 by SoxPride18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GGajewski18 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 2m Through Adam Dunn's no-trade power, he can steer any trade. He is expected to choose today. Oakland might make most sense,because of the DH. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGajewski18 Posted August 31, 2014 Share Posted August 31, 2014 Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 1m Source: #Athletics front-runner for Dunn - and he will waive no-trade clause to accept deal. Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 58s To be clear: Deal between #Athletics, #WhiteSox not done. Per source, A’s lead pursuit. Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 34s Dunn would represent an upgrade for Oakland, which ranks 20th in runs scored in MLB in the month of August.

And if Sale, Quintana and Danks are starting three of those four then I don't think Dunn will be seeing much playing time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Happening!!! I'm happy to see him leave, should it happen, for the month (hopefully) that a guy like Wilkins will get some AB's. I don't expect anything in return so its more or less, a chance to save a small amount of payroll, and begin moving on for next season.
