August 31, 201411 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 32m #SFGiants, #Athletics pursuing Dunn, per SI’s Tom Verducci. Lot of chatter among scouts yesterday that Dunn could be on move. Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 31m #WhiteSox’s Dunn has limited no-trade clause. Teams on it not known, but #Athletics frequently appear on players’ no-trade lists.
August 31, 201411 yr Please let there be truth to this! How desperate are the Giants? Desperate enough to play Dunn at 1B? Kinda makes me think Oakland is a more likely landing spot.
August 31, 201411 yr I would think Dunn would waive it for a chance to compete? /fingerscrossed Yes, I would think Dunn would go there now. Big difference between being traded with 2 years left on your contract and 4 weeks left. He can hold his nose and tolerate Oakland for a month.

August 31, 201411 yr Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 4m The Chicago White Sox are discussing possible trades involving slugger Adam Dunn with the Oakland Athletics and Dodgers. Beat me to it flavum. And my bad, didn't know you posted the Dunn news in the Wilkins thread. Edited August 31, 201411 yr by SoxPride18

It absolutely is...and with a few teams battling for him(who would have thought?) we may get something relatively nice back
August 31, 201411 yr Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 2m Through Adam Dunn's no-trade power, he can steer any trade. He is expected to choose today. Oakland might make most sense,because of the DH.
August 31, 201411 yr Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 1m Source: #Athletics front-runner for Dunn - and he will waive no-trade clause to accept deal. Ken Rosenthal @Ken_Rosenthal 58s To be clear: Deal between #Athletics, #WhiteSox not done. Per source, A’s lead pursuit. Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 34s Dunn would represent an upgrade for Oakland, which ranks 20th in runs scored in MLB in the month of August.

August 31, 201411 yr QUOTE (GreenSox @ Aug 30, 2014 -> 09:18 PM) I hate trading with Oak. Never seem to get anyone worth a damn from them. Cotts is about it. I would think they'd want Dunn though. Miguel olivo Edited August 31, 201411 yr by caulfield12
August 31, 201411 yr I hope it's the A's. They come to Chicago for four next week. Awkward.... And if Sale, Quintana and Danks are starting three of those four then I don't think Dunn will be seeing much playing time.
August 31, 201411 yr Author @Joelsherman1: Heard #Yankees not among teams trying to land Dunn, who looks as if he will be moved today #Chisox
August 31, 201411 yr Buster Olney @Buster_ESPN 1m The Oakland Athletics are closing in on a deal for Adam Dunn. It's Happening!!!

August 31, 201411 yr Looks like his final Sox slash line will be : .201/.321/.410/.731 106 homers in 528 games.
August 31, 201411 yr It didnt happen yet can we trade tank and danks too before 11pm. Edited August 31, 201411 yr by peavy44

I'm happy to see him leave, should it happen, for the month (hopefully) that a guy like Wilkins will get some AB's. I don't expect anything in return so its more or less, a chance to save a small amount of payroll, and begin moving on for next season.
