• Dunn Links:

Ken Rosenthal - "Market for Lee is wide open this time" - MLB News - FOX Sports on MSN

"The Nationals give no indication that they are willing to trade first baseman Adam Dunn; all they have said publicly is that they want to sign him to a contract extension.

"Dunn, though, is on the list of the Angels’ potential trade targets, and the White Sox’s Williams also likes him, major-league sources say."

"Dunn deal has appeal" : CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: White Sox - Joe Cowley

'''Names have been talked about by both sides,' one source said. '[Williams] might want to act quickly, though.'"

• Quotes: Jim Riggleman from 6/6/10 When Stammen Was Optioned To Syracuse To Make Room For Stras -

"...we're going to lose a real quality guy in Craig Stammen. Craig has really battled, and somebody's got to go, and it's Craig, but I feel terrible about that too. Everybody's excited about a nice addition, but one of the guys who's been leaving it all out there for us is the one that takes the hit on this, and we know he'll be back, but right now I'm more feeling pain for Craig than happiness that we're going to make an addition."
