Wire Taps: Latest Washington Nationals/Adam Dunn Trade Deadline Chatter...

Have the White Sox actually given up in their pursuit of the Nats' big middle-of-the-order bat? The latest rumors have the Sox discussing a deal for Manny Ramirez with the Dodgers. Both SI.com's Jon Heyman (@SI_jonheyman) and FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal (@Ken_Rosenthal) are reporting that Chicago's taking a run at LA's outfielder to fill their need for a slugger, and Mr. Rosenthal's colleague at FOXSports.com Jon Morosi (@jonmorosi) has Tweeted within the last half-hour that the Nats' GM Mike Rizzo refuses to budge:
"Hearing that #Nats are keeping a high price tag on their guys, T-minus four hours to deadline."
(ed. note - "The latest note on the Sox seeking Manny comes from SI.com's Jon Heyman (@SI_jonheyman), who reports via Twitter that the Dodgers are asking for Chicago infielder Dayan Viciedo in return for LA's veteran outfielder.")
ESPN.com's Jerry Crasnick (@jcrasnick) thinks that Tampa Bay might be the only team still in the hunt for the Nats' 30-year-old 40/100 threat. In a Tweet at around 9:00 am this morning Mr. Crasnick wrote that, "In the end, it might come down to Andrew Friedman deciding how much he's comfortable giving up for Adam Dunn." But apparently Mr. Crasnick gets the same vibe from the DC GM that the rest of the writers around baseball are getting because his last Tweet on the subject supported a lot of what was being reported last night:
@jcrasnick: "Nats GM Mike Rizzo gave distinct impression that he'll keep Dunn if he can't get what he wants. It didn't seem like posturing."
• In a small bit of news unrelated to Adam Dunn, Nats Insider.com's Mark Zuckerman finally provided a bit of info on Cuban right-hander Yunesky Maya this morning in a post entitled, "Deadline day thread", in which he reports that Maya:
"...has been granted his visa and has traveled to Washington. I expect a formal announcement of his signing will come in the very near future, perhaps as soon as today."
Federal Baseball is in Nationals Park, and I'll be here all day trying to see if anything happens...

Article from ESPN entitled: Tampa moving on from Dunn
ESPN.com’s Jayson Stark reports that the Rays may have run out of options in their search to add a bat to their lineup, including Adam Dunn, a player in which they covet — despite concerns that he might have similar problems hitting in the American League that Pat Burrell had — but aren’t willing to give the Washington Nationals what they want in return.
The Rays, Stark continues, are more likely to scour the waiver wire and look to make waiver trades in August.

I'm surprised to hear about the Pudres getting Ludwick
B/c I’m sure the Rays would absolutely be interested in Ludwick as a DH bat, at a much cheaper price
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.
(w/ a hat tip to Mrs. NNN), MLB Network reporter Trenn Kusnierik:
“Heard this last night in Wash, Dunn to TB rumors over-exaggerated. Talks had cooled for Dunn on all fronts.”
“Just told from source w/ #nationals that they have a few teams w/ “pretty strong interest” in Dunn, but “not a sure thing we deal him.”

Listen, speaking as a lifelong Dodger fan
The Nats definitely do NOT want Manny. He gets hurt every other week, still dogs it in the outfield, and his power has significantly declined.

A quiet deadline day?
Or is this just the calm before the storm? Is Mike Rizzo getting teams POed or what? Maybe he planned to extend Dunn all along, but played the cards right so he could quietly ship out Capps and Guzman for respective hauls.
I will gladly eat crow if Brandon Jones does well for the 49ers in 2010.

That's kind of been a theme of this deadline-palooza, I guess.
Team’s asking for so much, but then relented and executing poor-value deals. Rizzo’s better than that though, and that’s good.
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.

This ain't nothing. Remember our last first basemen's trade deadline experience.
Zuckerman writes about Nick Johnson learning with the rest of us after 4:00 before crying himself back to the DL:
Quite often, these deals don’t happen until the very last minute. A year ago, the Nationals were in Pittsburgh on deadline day, with players sitting around the clubhouse watching MLB Network to find out what was going on. When the clock struck 4 p.m., Nick Johnson left the clubhouse and went down to the batting cage to take some hacks, assuming no news was good news. A couple minutes later, Johnson learned he’d actually been traded to the Marlins right at the deadline; it just took several minutes for the word to actually get to him.

true
But we need filler material so my heart will skip a lot of beats today.
It’s like my love-hate with the Dudres. They just stole Ryan Ludwick today
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.
You starting to remember my late grandfather with all of your teams...
…I’m getting to expect a press conference at today’s game. “After much consideration and reflection, I have decided to hold on open competion to decide my second AL team to supplement The Rays. With their new acquisition of Matt Capps, the Twinkies are the leader in the clubhouse unless the Rays acquire Dunn for peanuts.”

I have one team
And that is the Padres. It’s just such a love-hate, the Rays and Nats ride on the coattails. And yes I love the Rays to the bottom of my heart, small as it is
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.
Just funnin' you man.
You can root forever you likes. I realize there’s a lot of folks in Natstown who have multiple teams. Until we are in a situation where we’re in the wildcard mix it’s all good. Speaking of which LoutheMetsandNatsfan seems to have gone MIA.

Charlottesville = 2.5 hour commute
Plus need to get their early to get grandstand tix
Sunshine will come to Nats Park, I promise.
You should be fairly good.
I got there 5:30 yesterday and I was in row L. The trick for you is parking. You want to be close to Nats Park on metro. If you want to pay some, I suppose that there’s Pentagon City (exit route 1 on 395 right?]. That’s a transfer to Nats Park. L’enfant Plaza and then the Green Line. I tend to get creative. I’d hit the Wilson Bridge, park at Branch Avenue on the green line (maybe 5-10 minutes past the Wilson Bridge), have no transfers and heading the opposite way from many of the masses after the game. Not sure, how many trains they run the opposite way after the game. Any comments from Virginia drives about favorite parking options for the economically shrewd Mr. Kha?

See above. Parking is tricky and they don't really allow that tactic near the park.
If you’re trying to park near the park, I think the best option (and I don’t know how possible this is), is to try to head a full metro stop back to Waterfront Metro and park in that neighborhood and walk the 10-15 minutes from the park there. I have absolutely no idea what post game traffic is like using that tactic (I guess you go up to 395 up 7 St. SW) and I don’t really know that in comparison to Metro. Usually, it’s pretty tricky to park in the immediate vicinity of Nats Park. It’s very residential and you’re not allowed to drive on those streets. You need a local parking decal to avoid the fines if you park more than two hours, and DC is pretty relentless about parking tickets in this economic climate.

After this year, for even newbies like me....
…we are all true Caps fans. Every time the Caps/Capps start doing well, somebody swipes our glory. Minnesota Wild fans are looking for some kind of omen in the Matt Capps trade. GMGM believes he will steal elements of their fan base from the new “Let’s Go Capps!” chants in the land of 10,000 lakes as they crater next year.
