Ken Rosenthal and Jon Paul Morosi are “breaking” the story that according to a source, the Nationals have not offered any sort of extension in any form– not one.
“They’ve never made one proposal,” the source said.
Rumor has it the Nats might make a last minute proposal to Dunn who will either take it and stay in D.C. or ditch it and get traded. If true, the Adam Dunn Market is expected to get hotter which could work for or against the Nationals.
“Source.” I hate Source. Source is like the devil of sports writing: He is a liar, but sometimes he mixes lies with the truth. Take it for what it is worth, but supposing this is true, this doesn’t sound like a team that is really gung-ho about keeping the slugging first baseman. For such a valuable “anchor” in the clubhouse, the Nats seem more than willing to be risky with him.
Of course, Dunn isn’t necessarily sending the love back either with pretty steep demands and visiting opposing team’s radio announcers in uniform while your team is getting their asses handed to them.
Whatever the case, the Adam Dunn Theater continues…

Formestane Junky Suspended – Nationals shortstop Pedro Lopez who is playing for the Triple-A Syracuse Chiefs has been suspended 50 games for testing positive for Formestane and not being a good enough Ninja to continually hide the fact he actually plays for the Nationals because now we all now know he does.
