Everything In It's Right Place for the Washington Nationals

The non-waiver trade deadline has passed and the Washington Nationals have continued to accumulate critical pieces to their future championship puzzle.

There was no purge of all veteran players for prospects, but there were deft moves to acquire highly thought of prospects, including Wilson Ramos, and create major league openings for young talent already in their system.

Waiver Wire Warning: Five Players Likely To Clear Waivers and Get Traded

The MLB "Non-Waiver" Trade Deadline has come and gone but another has yet to arrive, the August 31st Waiver Trade Deadline. This simply means teams can still trade players but with the requirement of placing their players on the waiver wire, which is pretty secret in MLB and often if a contract is too hefty a player goes free.

Last year the Chicago White Sox shocked the baseball world by claiming outfielder Alex Rios from the Toronto Blue Jays and his expensive contract, in the neighborhood of $50 million left on it and getting him with no trade whatsoever.

Memo to Adam Dunn: You're Still a National, So Sign the Darn Contract!

Adam Dunn is still a Washington National.

With a half-dozen or more teams making offers for the slugging first baseman right up to the last moments of the July 31 trade deadline, General Manager Mike Rizzo decided on Saturday afternoon that doing nothing made the most sense.

Dunn made it very clear that he didn’t want to leave Washington and believed that a multi-year deal with the Nationals could be reached any time this summer, this fall, even after the season is over.

He wants to stay. Really.

MLB Trade Rumors: Adam Dunn, Lance Berkman and Prince Fielder

The trade deadline is a little more that 24 hours away, and teams are making moves.

The pretenders are trying to rid themselves of high priced veterans so that they can start over.

The contenders are looking for the final piece that will set them up for a long playoff run.

Now that Oswalt has been dealt, it seems as if it is time to make a move for one of the three big sluggers that might be available.

Yesterday, the talk was all about the Chicago White Sox acquiring Adam Dunn...

MLB Trade Rumors Live Blog: Adam Dunn to Yankees, White Sox or Rays?

10:54am CDT - Bob Nightengale of USA Today says the White Sox are now apparently working with the Astros on a deal for right-hander Brett Myers.

Myers is a guy that I thought the San Diego Padres would go after but I haven't heard a single thing on that front. However, we didn't know that the Padres had gotten in late for Roy Oswalt after the deal to the Phillies had already been announced. You just never know who's really in or out on these deals.

Adam Dunn and the New York Yankees Would Be a Perfect Match

It's become a rite of summer.  If a major league team has an available player at the trade deadline, he'll be connected to the Yankees somehow, whether he makes sense for New York or not.

So it comes as no surprise that the Yankees have been connected to just about every available player at this year's trade deadline.  They've made known offers for Cliff Lee and Dan Haren and have made inquiries about several other players they view as upgrades.

Adam Dunn: Should Washington Nationals Keep Him or His $60 Million?

The word on the street this morning is that the Nationals would remove first baseman Adam Dunn from the trade market if he would give the team an informal agreement about a contract that could be hammered out over the next few months.

Another disappointing loss has led to more trade talk among national columnists and Detroit Tigers fans. Tampa Bay defeated the Tigers 3-2 Tuesday night, after a ninth-inning bases-loaded opportunity didn't pan out for Miguel Cabrera.

Detroit is now four games behind the A.L. Central-leading Chicago White Sox, who will come to Comerica Park next week.
