Nats Get Bruney, Are Dunn And Willingham On Block?
An article by Hojo's Mojo
According to Joel Sherman of the New York Post, the Washington Nationals have acquired relief pitcher Brian Bruney from the New York Yankees for a player to be named later.
Bruney had a so-so season with the Yankees, but had clearly fallen out of favor as the season drew to an end.
Last season he went 5–0 with a 3.92 ERA in 44 relief appearances.
I think the Nationals may be one of the more active teams in the NL this off season.
Rumors are swirling that both Josh Willingham and Adam Dunn could be traded. The Mets definitely like Willingham, but they should also take a look at Adam Dunn who can play first base.
Dunn is one of a handful of players that could hit the ball out of any park including Citi Field where he hit the longest homerun in it’s short history.

If the Mets get both Willingham and Dunn. I say yes, go get’em.
Willingham will be good move for the Mets. He gives them more power and he is cheap. Wich will allow them to spend more money on pitching.
Willingham AND Dunn to an NL East rival?
They won’t trade Dunn.
agreed. unless the offer was really one-sided. dunn is the only reason those 18 people show up to the games.
agree. nice player. wish Mets could get him, but no way.
Any trade for Dunn would have to involve Bobby Parnell, which I would do. The other question is who else would have to go?
I’d love it but i highly doubt we could get Dunn from the Nats.
Good trade in I think. We’ll see! Thanks for the news. By the way, Premio Foods is one great company who has free goodies and recipes to cool sports fans out there. Enjoy!
