Odds & Ends: Dunn, Beltre, Lee, Sabathia

Links for Tuesday, as we wait for David Price to throw the first pitch of the All-Star Game to Hanley Ramirez...

• For the second time this month, Torii Hunter lobbied for the Angels to acquire Adam Dunn (MLB.com's Bill Ladson reporting).  Hunter's willingness to weigh in on personnel decisions should come as no surprise, given his desire to be a GM one day.
• Adrian Beltre was close to accepting a multiyear offer from the Athletics in the offseason, but he told John Shea of the San Francisco Chronicle that he felt the Red Sox gave him a better chance to win.  Beltre has not had any talks with the Sox about an extension, reports WEEI's Rob Bradford.
• Cliff Lee doesn't know whether proximity to his Arkansas home will impact where he signs, reports ESPN's Richard Durrett.
• MLB.com's Anthony Castrovince responds strongly to C.C. Sabathia's comments made to Paul Hoynes of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.  Asked about the breakup of the Indians, Sabathia said, "That wasn't our fault. They traded us. That's on them."
• It appears that the Hanshin Tigers will retain Matt Murton for 2011, according to a Sanspo report relayed by NPB Tracker's Patrick Newman.
