Update On Adam Dunn To The Cubs

Will Carroll has posted his afternoon update and includes a blurb about the Dunn to the Cubs rumor that's been spreading today.

He says the Reds are reluctant to deal within their division and the Cubs have a hard time taking on salary. I don't buy that second part, especially since Dunn's contract for next year is voided if he is traded. Carroll ads the Cubs were working with another team in a three way trade with Dunn involved. That team might have been the Nationals, but he says the names involved didn't make sense.

Dunn did supposedly tell Austin Kearns he wants to be dealt to the Nats and would sign a long term deal there.
