He has a fairly large contract that ends at the end of the '07 season. He's essentially a 1B or a DH (or a really bad LF). Yes, most teams in the AL would probably like to add him, and maybe a handful in the NL, but how many are going to part with anything of substance to have him on the roster for a few months?GatewaySnayke wrote:Someone tell me right now what this means:
I think only about two teams in baseball wouldn't have room for Adam Dunn.I just don't think he has much trade value.
For instance, the Cards would love to have his bat I am sure, but they can't stick him at 1B, and they aren't going to go with an OF of Duncan, Edmonds, and Dunn. So they would have little interest. They probably wouldn't even trade Duncan for Dunn straight up, because Dunn gets paid much more, and Duncan won't hit payday for a little while yet.
That's why he has little trade value. He has value as a player, but I'm not sure the Reds will get much in return for him this season. They should have traded him a couple of years ago if they didn't plan on building around him.
