Unfounded Rumors

Would you think less of me if I busted out the old Unfounded Rumors category?  I know the #1 request at MLBTR is More Rumors.  So why not toss a few unfounded ones out there?  These are 100% unconfirmed, shaky rumors that have crossed my inbox.  Believe them at your own risk. 

But since 99% of deadline rumors don’t happen anyway, why not put ’em out there for discussion?

• Word is that FedEx was at Reggie Sanders’ house today, packing up his stuff.  Not sure where he’s headed.  This one will have more substance if Sanders is nowhere to be found for tonight’s game against the Yankees.
• If the Cubs somehow traded for Adam Dunn, where would they put him?  Hard to imagine.
• Some folks have suggested that the Cubs will acquire Xavier Nady, but Bucco Blog shoots it down.
• Dontrelle Willis has been awful this month; there are whispers that he may need Tommy John surgery.  Willis did experience forearm tightness in June, which is often a precursor to or euphemism for elbow problems.  Despite his performance and the proclamations that he’s not available, a Mariners’ scout watched him on Monday.
• One rumor that is picking up a lot of steam is that I will be joining MetsBlog Radio tonight at 6pm CST to talk rumors for a half hour.
