Adam Dunn is gone
After years of debate between strikeout-hating, fat-loathing Dunn bashers and on-base-and-home-run loving supporters, Adam from Milwaukee is now a Diamondback. Here's how the trade breaks down:
We get: Dallas Buck, a right-hander in Class A with low strikeout and walk rates but a low ERA who had Tommy John surgery last year; two players to be named; half of the remaining $4 million owed Dunn.
Arizona gets: 2 months + postseason of Dunn; two supplemental draft picks OR Dunn signed to an extended contract.
It's hard to tell who gets the better end without knowing who the players to be named are. But this day was bound to come, so say goodbye in whatever way you wish.

Not possible
PTBNL’s cannot be on the 25-man roster.

this may be a different type of PTBNL
they may just be waiting for players to clear waivers. Theoretically, those players could be on the 25-man roster.

How do the Reds score runs next year?
Remind them that the roster is built around a collection of out-makers. Dunn may not have been perfect, but at least he didn’t make outs hand over fist.

I actually live there, and it’s a great neighborhood. It has its share of problems (it is after all the largest neighborhood in Cincinnati) but I doubt you’ll find a better value for a house in all of Greater Cincinnati.

Not in Ft Thomas.
If you want something halfway nice. We looked there for 6 months. Nothing less than $250 was very nice.
I’d look Madeira / Kenwood / Blue Ash / Montgomery area, but seeing how I live here, I’m kind of partial. Madeira, Indian Hill and Sycamore are all good schools too.

I want to say that I read Klu was hated, more or less run out of town, then 10-15 years later people started realizing that they really did like him. Which is a totally Cincinnati way to look at someone.

I think you are correct
it was as a coach and community figure that he became almost iconic.
If I remember right he was coming off a bad, injury plagued season and was traded for a guy that never played for the Reds or maybe only a few games.

After thinking and figuring a little,
there is a chance one PTBNL could be Parker, who didn’t sign until the deadline last season. That means he can’t be traded until Aug. 15. There is hope!
Eight players it could be, within reason, who are on the Arizona 40-man roster but not the 25-man are: RHP Micah Owings, RHP Jailen Peguero, RHP Esmerling Vasquez, RHP Emiliano Fruto, RHP Juan Gutierrez, C WIlkin Castillo, 1B Javier Brito and 1B Josh Whitesell. Not an impressive lot by any means.
Four players remaining from Arizona’s top-10 prospects list in the preseason include AA OF Gerardo Parra, RHP Jarrod Parker, SS Reynaldo Navarro and RHP Barry Enright. I like Parra’s bat a lot and he plays CF. Parker is a dream acquisition. Navarro’s only in rookie ball but is talented. Enright is struggling in Hi-A.

If it's Owings and Parra,
this deal is easier to swallow. If Parker is in it, potentially it’s a big win.
Owings reportedly was one of the players offered for Teixiera. Also, Arizona reportedly offered Chad Tracy straight up for Dunn. I don’t know if that really happened, but if so, the players the Reds get back in this deal figure to be guys they like more than Tracy. Interesting.

There's really no chance the ptbnl is Parker, right?
I mean he’d be the name in the deal. Not for a 2 month rental. Even if the Backs plan on signing Dunn long term I doubt they’d offer Parker. The only GM I could see doing that is now returning video tapes for Walt Jocketty.
