By
7/30 20:48: Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports tweets, “#WhiteSox saying, again, that they are out on Dunn. If that’s true, Dunn could stay with #Nationals. #Rays only in at rt price. #Nationals don’t seem ready to budge. So, barring mystery team, hard to see Dunn deal. #WhiteSox can wait until Aug. – Alex Rios time”
7/30 15:59: Buster Olney of ESPN says, “Heard this: The Nationals are frustrated in their attempts to get equal value for Adam Dunn, and conversely, rival teams are saying that the asking price for Dunn is enormous. This is why the Yankees turned away from the Dunn talks and snagged to Berkman if they had ultimately lost out on Dunn. It’s like a game of musical chairs.”
Ben Goessling of MASN tweets, “#Nationals GM Mike Rizzo said the price won’t come down on Adam Dunn before the deadline.”
7/30 14:52: Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports tweets, “Berkman to #Yankees could put #Nationals in bind with Dunn. Nats lose big potential suitor. #WhiteSox can hold out for deal of their liking. #Rays can’t be sure Dunn will succeed as DH after failed expriment w Burrell. #Nationals might be stuck.”
7/30 14:00 Buster Olney of ESPN tweets, “Heard this: The Steinbrenners have given pre-approval to the acquisition of a large salary such as Lance Berkman or Adam Dunn.”
7/30 12:53: Bill Ladson of MLB.com (via Jim Bowden of FOXSports) says that if Dunn is traded, he thinks that it will be to the Chicago White Sox.
7/30 12:08: Bob Nightengale of USA Today Tweets, “#mlb White Sox have Edwin Jackson included in current trade package for Dunn. If Sox get Dunn, then will try to land Astros’ Brett Myers”
7/30 11:53: FOXSports.com says the Chicago White Sox are still in pursuit of Washington Nationals slugger Adam Dunn. According to a Major League source close to FOXSports.com, the White Sox remained in talks with the Nats about Dunn even after completing the deal for Edwin Jackson on Friday.
If White Sox GM Kenny Williams were to trade Jackson to the Nationals, he would need to find another starting pitcher. He is not looking for the Nats to package one of their starters along with Dunn, a source says.
