In an interview with the Washington Post, Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said, “We are not trading Adam Dunn.  That’s as definitive as I can be.”
…you mean, it isn’t as simple as just ‘going and getting dunn,’ like i keep hearing from radio hosts and columnists, as if dunn is just sitting on a street corner [...]

Here is my segment from today’s Mets pre game show on SNY, during which I discuss why Adam Dunn is a perfect fit for the Mets, and how rooting for the Mets has become easier, because of the injuries:

In a post to Twitter, SI.com’s Jon Heyman quotes a team official as saying, ‘the Mets will not mortgage the future,’ in a trade.
Heyman takes this to mean Omar Minaya will not trade Fernando Martinez, Brad Holt or Jenry Mejia.
…in other words, the Mets will not be acquiring A’s OF Matt Holliday, nor any front-line starting pitchers… [...]

Rockies GM Dan O’Dowd told the Denver Post he is not likely to trade OF Brad Hawpe this season.
“That’s something you would only do strategically, for the big picture,” O’Dowd said.  “That would be something for the offseason, if at all.”
The Rockies have won 16 of their last 17 games, and are now 1.5 games [...]

In a report full of news, notes and rumors from around MLB, Jon Heyman of SI.com says rival General Managers are saying Omar Minaya is looking to upgrade his team’s offense, ‘now.’

The Nationals are the only team that is likely to make a deal before the all-star break, SI.com’s Jon Heyman said in a recent interview with WFAN, which you can listen to here.
According to Heyman, citing people around the league, the Nationals are asking for a ‘boat load,’ in exchange for Adam Dunn and Nick [...]

Yesterday, Jerry Manuel explained to reporters that his team needs to find more power from its offense, with or without Carlos Delgado.
According to the Star-Ledger, “The Mets have hit only 34 homers through their first 55 games, ranking 28th out of 30 teams in the majors.”
…on one hand, i think, who cares… if the team [...]

Update, 5:20 pm:
Tom Verducci of SI.com says Adam Dunn signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Nationals.
…good for dunn… i didn’t think he would get that much in this market…
…by the way, with dunn in DC and Bobby Abreu with the Angels, i assume this means Manny Ramirez will soon be [...]

After this afternoon’s proclamation by GM Omar Minaya that the Mets were satisfied with their offense heading into the season and would not be spending significant money on free agents the rest of this off-season, Jon Heyman addressed a number of free agents that have been linked to the team during his appearance on the [...]

David O’Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution believes the Braves would prefer to first sign Bobby Abreu, or look to trade for Xavier Nady or Nick Swisher, or, lastly, sign Adam Dunn, who is seeking $14 million per season.

Meanwhile, Mark Bowman of MLB.com [...]

Buster Olney of ESPN.com believes free-agent OF Bobby Abreu is now willing to accept a one-year deal.

…watch the Braves, actually, as there has been more and more buzz of late linking abreu to Atlanta… also, the Angels make a lot [...]

Yesterday, the Yankees and OF Xavier Nady settled on a one-year, $6.55 million contract, avoiding salary arbitration.
Nady, who will be a free agent at the end of this season, hit .305 with 25 HR and 97 RBI last season, while playing for the Yankees and Pirates.
…this is significant for two reasons…
…one) it is an affordable [...]

Last night on SNY’s Mets Hot Stove, Mets GM Omar Minaya was asked if he could bring in a player, like Adam Dunn, Bobby Abreu or Manny Ramirez, on a one-year deal, and said:

“Yes, I could possibly bring in a player.  But, what I don’t want to do invest the capital I have on an [...]

The Red Sox have shown interest in free-agent OF Adam Dunn, reports Ken Rosenthal at FoxSports.com.
However, according to Rosenthal, it is longshot the Red Sox sign him.
Rosenthal believes Dunn and Bobby Abreu could end up accepting a one-year deal this off-season, because the market for hitters next off-season is so thin – short of Matt [...]
