The Nationals continue to talk to Adam Dunn’s agents about an extension, and have essentially made it clear that if they can get him to agree to an extension in the next few days, he’ll stay. And if not, he’ll go. Rumblings continue to surface about a possible three-team deal involving the Nationals, White Sox and Diamondbacks that would send Edwin Jackson to Washington, Dunn to Chicago and a bunch of young pitchers to Arizona.
UPDATE: Rosenthal:
Source: Diamondbacks will not hesitate to trade EJax if they get what they want. No 3-way talks with Nationals and White Sox – yet.
Heard this: The Nats have made progress in their effort to trade prospects for Edwin Jackson.
