Nady is hitting .263 in 38 games with 3 home runs with the Chicago Cubs this season. He signed a one-year $3.3 million deal this past off season and has some experience at first base. While he’s normally an outfielder, Nady has played 85 games at first base throughout his MLB career.
Digiovanna also says that other trade candidates include Paul Konerko ( White Sox), Adam LaRoche (Diamondbacks), Lance Berkman (Astros), Ty Wigginton (Orioles), Russell Branyan (Indians) and Adam Dunn (Nationals).
