It appears the Diamondbacks are leaning against offering salary arbitration to slugging outfielder Adam Dunn, who has hit at least 40 home runs the last five years (actually, it's exactly 40 the last four).
While Dunn certainly was productive -- 40 HRs, 100, RBIs, .236 -- the Diamondbacks don't sense a thriving market for him and don't want to chance Dunn accepting arbitration, which could result in a salary of $16-18 million in arbitration.
If, as expected, they decide not to offer arbitration, any team that signs the Type A free agent would not have to forfeit a first-round draft choice. The Nationals may be a candidate to sign Dunn.
Teams have until midnight ET to decide whether to offer arbitration.
