http://0rz.tw/jhOOD The Market For Adam Dunn Right now, Adam Dunn wants a four-year, $56 million contract. And who knows, maybe he gets it. Maybe he also gets a Lamborghini, a new house, and exclusive use of the Burj Al Arab helicopter pad. Maybe he can hire Pat Burrell to babysit his kid. Across baseball, Dunn's reported asking price has left baseball executives -- including those at 1500 S. Capitol St. -- with their eyebrows just about raised up to their hairlines. Certainly you cannot fault Dunn for trying to name his price, but for the time being, he seems nowhere close to getting it. One agent I spoke with today said that "I think Dunn will get a max of $5 million per year. Anything more than that and I'd be surprised." Here's the other factor in play: Will any A-list team make a run for Dunn? Dunn's value, one AL exec told me today, "will fluctuate based on who has a need... so you have to figure out, Does a big-money team need him?" Perhaps it's a bit premature to answer, only because Dunn could well remain unemployed until Manny Ramirez signs somewhere. Indeed, Dunn's true value might not emerge until the losers in the Manny sweepstakes determine how badly they want a 40-HR fallback option. But for now, I feel comfortable saying that no big market team seems like a true, head-over-heels suitor for Dunn. That's why Dunn just might end up in Washington, the one team that unequivocally wants the guy. So how about the other teams? Here is what I've got, based on some reading, a few conversations with involved executives, and a little help from others in the beat writing fraternity. I'm listing only teams that I've seen rumored to have an interest. Hopefully I'm not excluding anybody; if you notice any omissions, just holler. RED SOX -- This one is a longshot at best. There is no natural or obvious fit for Dunn, unless Boston were to place him at first, move Kevin Youkilis to third and find a taker for Mike Lowell. To complicate matters: Dunn has told at least some teams that he only wants to play OF, not 1B or DH. ORIOLES -- They no longer have any interest. This is confirmed. DODGERS -- This is one of those teams looking first at Manny; they're really counting on signing him, and if they don't, it remains to be seen how they'll delegate that money. But there's a good chance they will prefer Bobby Abreu over Dunn. BRAVES -- I'm not sure on this one, but you've got to figure that the high- profile Derek Lowe signing takes a big hack out of their remaining budget. This mlb.com article mentions that the Breaves "still don't seem interested in satisfying the salary desires possessed by Adam Dunn and other free-agent outfielders." MARINERS -- They are, at best, a dark horse. I'm getting the impression they'd look at Dunn only if he was a Filene's-type bargain, maybe two years, $10 million. BREWERS -- They have no interest in Dunn. GIANTS -- Dunn is a stretch here. They have a hole at first base, and they have a gaping need for power (SF finished last in baseball in '08 in HRs), but the Giants already have defensive concerns about their infield and might hesitate to insert Dunn there. YANKEES -- Just because. Maybe they have a few extra Lamborghinis in the garage. 如果只要一年5M的話，幹嘛不簽？每年都有40Hr耶，哪裡找這樣便宜的？ -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 122.125.1.135
