Good News, Adam Dunn is a Type A Free Agent

Good News, Adam Dunn is a Type A Free Agent

By Brett on October 29, 2010

That good news comes with an asterisk, I suppose – it’s good news if you actually want the Cubs to sign Adam Dunn. Adam Dunn has been designated a Type A free agent by the Elias Sports Bureau (just barely), which means that, should a team other than the Nationals sign him in free agency, that [...]

Lukewarm Stove: Nationals Unlikely to Re-Sign Adam Dunn, But Nationals Might Be Happy About It

By Brett on October 19, 2010

Most of what you read about impending free agent Adam Dunn from the Washington Nationals’ side is that the team is eager to re-sign the hulking slugger, but might not have the cash to do so. Rarely do you see things like this: As far as [re-signing] Dunn goes, I don’t see it happening before [...]

Obsessive New Manager Watch: Pat Listach Out

Obsessive New Manager Watch: Pat Listach Out

By Brett on October 11, 2010

Pat Listach, former Cubs’ minor league manager and current Nationals’ coach, was infrequently mentioned as a possible candidate for the open Chicago Cubs’ managerial position. He will no longer be mentioned – sources say he’s out of the running, which should surprise no one. No reason was given as to why Listach is out of [...]

Bad News for the Cubs: Adam Dunn Likely to be Type B Free Agent

Bad News for the Cubs: Adam Dunn Likely to be Type B Free Agent

By Brett on October 7, 2010

I should say at the outset, what follows is bad news for the Chicago Cubs only if you want them to sign Adam Dunn. If you’re a Dunn-opponent, then you can go ahead and rejoice. With the regular season at a close, players can now be classified by the Elias Sports Bureau as Type A [...]

Carlos Zambrano: Adam Dunn Wants to Play for Chicago Cubs

Carlos Zambrano: Adam Dunn Wants to Play for Chicago Cubs

By Brett on October 3, 2010

Now that Carlos Zambrano has confirmed his desire to remain with the Chicago Cubs for the foreseeable future, he’s making plans for the team. Specifically, he thinks the Cubs need a big bat in the middle of the order (the Amazing Kreskin that guy is), and he says that guy should be soon-to-be free agent [...]

Sources Say Nationals Unlikely to Re-Sign Adam Dunn

Sources Say Nationals Unlikely to Re-Sign Adam Dunn

By Brett on September 29, 2010

Despite reports just last week that the two sides were hopeful that something could get done, rumors are surfacing that the Washington Nationals do not expect – indeed do not want – to re-sign first baseman Adam Dunn, who is a free agent at the end of this season. Money is, of course, always a [...]

OMG Adam Dunn: He Expects to Return to Nationals

OMG Adam Dunn: He Expects to Return to Nationals

By Brett on September 20, 2010

Adam Dunn has made plain that he’d like to remain a Washington National after his contract expires this year. That said, the Nationals had appeared unwilling to pony up the necessary dollars and years to put a reasonable deal on the table, which led most to assume Dunn would be walking in free agency. Once [...]

The Chicago Cubs Will Sign Adam Dunn if Marlon Byrd Has His Way

The Chicago Cubs Will Sign Adam Dunn if Marlon Byrd Has His Way

By Brett on August 31, 2010

With a gaping hole at first base, left vacated by Derrek Lee who was traded to the Atlanta Braves two weeks ago after manning the spot for almost seven seasons, speculation as to whom will be the next first baseman is bound to bandy about for the next few months. So I guess I’m saying [...]
