Dunn is in the second year of of a two-year, $20 million contract. In mid-March, Dunn’s agent, Greg Genske, said the negotiations are “amicable and upbeat,” and he optimistic about getting a deal done.

Dunn, 30, is a popular player with the Nationals’ fans and he wants to say in Washington. He is currently hitting .280 with 11 home runs, 30 RBIs and 30 walks.

“The Nationals know how I feel about this place. I hope that something can be worked out,” Dunn said. “Again, I’m not in any hurry. It’s probably No. 10 on my list of things to worry about.”
