After chasing down Trevor Hoffman and winning the bidding war against the Dodgers, the Milwaukee Brewers recently signed the well needed pitcher for two seasons that included a club option in 2010. Now a few weeks later, the rumors about the Brewers being interested in free agent Adam Dunn have been shot down right out of the sky. MLB.com’s Adam McCalvy who spoke to Brewers GM Doug Melvin, says that Melvin stated in an interview that the Brewers are no longer interested in the slugger.
Fox Sports recently discussed the possible idea of the Brewers trading Prince Fielder, signing Dunn to replace him, and stretching the budget to acquire another pitcher. However, recent reports have surfaced about Red Sox showing possible interest in Dunn. According to the Chop-N-Change Dunn is seeking more than just an average salary. It is estimated that he will sign for no less than 4 years and $56MM. The Chop-N-Change also reports that Dunn is indeed out the Braves’ price range and for every other team in baseball.
The left-fielder tallied 100 total RBIs for the Diamondbacks last season and banked almost $13 million dollars of the D’backs payroll in 2008. Dunn ranked second in the National League home run totals last season tailing a total of 40.
