Tuesday’s MLB Trade Rumors: Nationals Want A Ton For Adam Dunn

Ken Rosenthal recently reported that the Nationals haven’t made any contract extension offer to Adam Dunn in any form. That would seem to indicate that they’re very open to moving him, and lest you think that talks aren’t progressing, think again!

That’s a steep price - and of course it’s a steep price, being that this is Mike Rizzo - but it’s less steep than the Dunn-for-Gordon-Beckham proposal the White Sox have already turned down.

On Monday, we noted that Royals outfielder Jose Guillen is attracting interest from the Yankees, Red Sox, Padres, Mets and Giants. San Francisco, it appears, has ramped up its interest. From SB Nation Kansas City:

The Giants, who have put together a 9-3 record since the All-Star break, are only 3.5 games behind the A.L. West-leading Padres. As Heyman said, they can probably pick up Guillen on the cheap, but seeing as Guillen has played for nine teams throughout his 14-year career, they may want to double-check their roster to make sure they don’t have him already.
