• LINKS:
• Joel Sherman - "Plenty of posturing before MLB's trade deadline" - NYPOST.com
"The most likely player to move in that group is Dunn. The Yanks have mild interest, but it appeared the White Sox and Giants were pushing harder."
• Tim Brown - "Wobbly contenders weaken trade market" - MLB - Yahoo! Sports
"At a time when the White Sox could use some thump, Dunn is available. The Nationals have shown little interest in extending Dunn’s contract, which expires at season’s end. Dunn is a popular figure among the rumors, having been linked to the Tigers, Giants, Rays and Rangers."
• MLB.com's Bill Ladson - "Nats need starter for Sunday"
"However, left-handers John Lannan and Matt Chico are candidates to make the start. Lannan is having an up-and down- season in the Minor Leagues. In seven starts for Double-A Harrisburg, Lannan is 1-4 with a 4.20 ERA."
