Re: Dunn traded to DBacks
Despite all the vitriol that he got on this board at times, I think we will rue this day. What a shame.

On the other hand, Dunn will be pulling in a lot next year - a lot. A lot more than Griffey had - and if the bidding gets passionate enough, he could even near Giambi-type numbers. I am not sure that a ball club like the Reds would have been able to afford him and put up winning numbers. And that, in more ways than one, is a tragedy. |

That's how I see it too. The Reds did not want Dunn back. The signs were clear as day. This trade avoids the unpleasantry of risking offering Dunn arb (He might've accepted, as some FAs have done, like Maddux at Altanta). IMO, this A ball pitcher and two PTBL might be better than 2 comp picks anyway. Let's wait and see. As someone else pointed out, the AZ prospects are already paid for and further advanced.

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks
Wow! I think it's safe to say the Reds are now officially in a total rebuild mode.

Re: Dunn traded to DBacks
WHAT!?
This is quite a suprise indeed. Half of this board will implode.
