  that might be available like Adam Dunn and Ken Griffey Jr., have all just gone way up. So do the teams on the bottom of the standings try and trade someone maybe they hadn't considered before because of the potential to get some real value in return like the Rangers have? Or will the contenders just stand pat because of the escalating price tags,

  roughly four hours to ago, Adam Dunn's most likely suitor still appears to be the Washington Nationals. Will Carroll says that Dunn would love to be reunited with good friend Austin Kearns in Washington, and might sign an extension there.  He could become the face of the franchise.  The problem is that the Nats don't have what the

  Think Factory point out, Dunn doesn't exactly come across as someone who wants to stay in Cincinnati. I don't see how the Reds could get Dunn past waivers to make a deal happen this year, but at worst bank on the team taking offers this winter.

  Wayne Krivsky in talks about Adam Dunn just to string him along and waste his time?  Fay's source says Bowden never intended to trade for Dunn, but strung Krivsky along in some sort of childish maneuver.

  the Reds picking up Adam Dunn's $13MM option.  This would just be plain dumb on Wayne Krivsky's part.  Given the $0.5MM buyout, it's basically like signing Dunn to a one-year, $12.5MM deal.  How many teams would pass on a huge power bat on a no-risk one-year commitment?  If the Reds don't exercise the option, it will

  how to preface this story. Adam Dunn takes a lot of crap from the media in Cincinnati because he strikes out a ton and doesn't hit for a high batting average and the general unwashed masses are completely unable to process why OPS is a better measure of batting prowess than batting average. Generally, Dunn's taken it all in stride. That was

''I'm surprised more people don't get injured out there. It's worse than playing in a parking lot.''After appearing to slip while fielding Derrek Lee's single to right,

  Reds are likely to exercise Adam Dunn's $13MM option for 2008, based on comments from club CEO Bob Castellini.  What's more, an extension is not out of the question.  Last we'd heard, it was "hard to see" the Reds picking up the option. Back in August, the Enquirer noted that the Reds would either pick up the option and

  NL team in left field.  Adam Dunn resides there currently for Cincy, playing some of the worst LF defense in the game.  So the loss on defense would be minimal.  Dunn could then be moved to first base or sent packing.  The latter option makes the most sense, since Joey Votto is ready and Scott Hatteberg is under

  they're going to pick up Adam Dunn's $13 million option for 2008. It's a hefty price tag for a guy that's not the most popular player in Cincinnati, but 40-homer, .900 OPS guys don't just grow on trees. Plus, at least they can trade him if they can't extend him. From C. Trent Rosecrans' blog: And, yet another note. Apparently Adam Dunn is off
