Adam Dunn To The Nationals?

When is the deadline? Is at the end of the business day today, or at midnight?

3. Would a 3rd team trade prospects that could land Adam Dunn to get Cordero and Rauch???

It sounds like the asking price is about the same but I doubt they would give up prospects to land a power hitter and take 2 relievers

The Nationals will quickly become the '05 Reds minus Griffey and Harang...so even worse.

Yeah, but what prospects do the Braves have to net Adam Dunn? And are Braves fans comfortable with giving up those prospects for Chad Cordero? He's not that good anymore.

3rd team is the NY Mets. =P just guessing

That Jim Bowden is such an idiot.. The Nationals clearly don't have a plan for the future.
I'm not even comment on his high demands. Milledge and Pelfrey for Cordero.. WTF??

I realize a 3rd team would need relief help, but certainly the 3rd team would be able to net a much better combo of relievers for prospects good enough to land Adam Dunn, if there is even a team foolish enough to trade that much for bullpen help. Benoit and Gagne from Texas come to mind.

Actually for the Braves Cordero as closer and Rauch & Wickman in the 7th and 8th makes sense, especially if the Dotel trade tanks.

They'd have to give up a package a notch lower than what they gave up for Teixera to get Dunn. One would assume. I don't see how the Braves have that type of farm system. Also.....why wouldn't the Nats just keep the prospects they would get to give to the Reds and forget about Dunn? They are a little more than just one Adam Dunn away from being contenders.

I still think this is where Arizona should jump in. Dunn, while a butcher every time he puts on a glove, is less of a butcher at 1B* and his LH bat would be huge for Arizona.

The Nats are the most poorly ran orginization in baseball. Why on earth would the Nats want Dunn when they could get players such as: David Murphy, Andre Ethier, Criag Hanson, Carlos Quentin, or any of the young Yankee pitchers not named Hughes or Chamberlin? It makes no sesne. Dunn is a good player but its Alfonso Soriano all over again. And there are other players with more upside. Just like them signing Young to a contract extension when they could have traded him and got some decent players in return. Instead they are going to stick him in LF next year and hope he doesn't make more errors than runs.

Makes no sense for the Yanks.. Their pen just got even worse unless they are pulling a deal with Tampa or another team..

Seems that Gagne is not going to the NYY

Chad Cordero in the NL East? He'd get eaten alive. I mean, I hope the Yanks do it, but boy, that won't be pretty.

It just doesn't make sense for a 3 team deal to go down with one team getting the top hitter available and a young one to boot and another just getting bullpen help. I'm not sure if there is a precedent on this but it would be very odd.

Another shoe has to drop after trading Proctor and it already has to be done or else they do not trade him. On the other hand, if the second trade does not pan out an early end to their season would give them more time to map out how to spend $200 million dollars to once again be also rans.

hot sauce,
I'd make that trade without Rauch. Dunn wouldn't have been back in Cincy unless they picked up the 13Mil option. Zimmerman is outstanding. With Jay Bruce tearing up AAA Zimmerman and Bruce would make up for the 40 HR in GABP. That would be awesome. This trade will not happen anyways. Just wishful thinking.
