Guess what? An Adam Dunn rumor

[vaticanplum]

I think we should start a separate forum for the Dunn rumors. We could call it the Dunn Deck. Adam's Alley. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown).

The Diamondbacks have kicked the tires on Adam Dunn. He might make sense as a rental - the D'Backs playoff changes sit between 16-27%, worth fighting for. No doubt they've got a stable of young players to offer.

If so I hope they don't get posted

If we do deal Dunn I would do it with the D'Backs. They have a fairly loaded system.

I didn't mean that Hairston should be the centerpiece in any deal.

I do think that he'd be a decent throw in, though, and I know the D-Backs wouldn't mind dealing him.

I wonder if they might think about trading Chris Young for Dunn considering Young's performance and the talk that Upton might be up sometime this year. It would accelerate Upton's timetable, but it might be interesting.

Brooks Brown and Max Scherzer aren't even on that list, either. Either are Yusmeiro Petit or Gerardo Parra.

Not sure if anybody else posted these on another thread, a couple Dunn snippets from BP:

1:45 p.m. ET

Forget Dmitri Young going anywhere. According to Bill Ladson of MLB.com, the Nats are close to signing him to a two-year extension. On the heels of sources telling me that the Nats were looking to collect draft picks, signing Young now is an interesting move. I'm still hearing rumblings that Adam Dunn would welcome a trade to the Nats more than any other team, and telling his friend Austin Kearns that he'd sign there.

The Dodgers aren't shifting their view to starting pitching despite the injuries to Derek Lowe and Randy Wolf. Instead, they're still focused on offense, and could be looking to make a late move on Adam Dunn. The key word--late. According to multiple sources, Dunn is not Plan A or even Plan B, in large part because nobody seems to think that Dunn would re-sign with a West Coast team.

And one other non-Dunn related but somewhat eyebrow raising clip:

The Cardinals are very, very quiet right now, with more rumors focusing on their front office itself instead of what the front office is doing.

Rumor number one there sounds like it came right out of the Washington front office

Yep, quite possible. I gotta imagine old Leatherpants is practically wetting himself at the idea of getting his hands on Dunn.
