Adam Dunn is not going to be traded
Circling The Bases —
There are some rumors that Adam Dunn could be had from the Nationals, but Nats' GM says that he is not available : "We are not trading Adam Dunn. That's as definitive as I can be . . . By no means is Adam Dunn on the trading block. We do not want to move Adam Dunn. We acquired him to keep him in the long-term. He's having an All-Star type of first half, he's a leader in the clubhouse and he's the anchor of the middle of our lineup." Which makes total sense.

Acting GM Mike Rizzo has no plans to trade the ...
