He's also the worst outfielder in the league.

According to the Reds, No. According to the other teams, probably, but only if the price is correct/right.

He is going to get a wakeup call when he hits free agency and sees how little he will get, unless someone is as dumb as the Dodgers were with Andrew Jones.

What has the Toronto GM done to make people think he knows what he's doing?

Dunn strikes out a ton. He also produces 100 runs and 100 RBI's per year with 40HRs. I find it very hard to believe no one wants his bat.

Everyones waiting for free agency. Right now, the Reds want a lot, but teams know his worth will drop after the season is over.

Good point CF2.....I'll take it a step further. Based on the Jays performance over the years I need to assume Ricciardi is a dim-witted, slow reacting, gutless GM who can't come through with a good team.

He's better than Griffey

The market is slow for him. That sounds about right.

Mets should look at him. They need a corner OFer in the worst way. The guy hits HRs and gets on base.

I think you are WAY off-base.
you are looking at things ina vaccum

They have had a TON of injuries.
They have WHEN HEALTHY the best 1,2 pitchers in baseball (and very nice starting staff) , a good line-up, decent relief pitching

The reason they haven't done anythingis ........
They play in the same division as the YANKEES and SOX
They CANNOT compete.

the article is a spin. facts are reds won't trade him unless they get something they need or want. reds have moved away from the "let's trade for anything people will offer us" under the new GM.

12 mil for Burnette, Rolen for Glaus, Eckstein after his last team saw him slipping badly ...

He's not doing a good job at all. Everyone has injuries. It's not liminted to the Jays.

As a life long Reds fan I can attest to the fact that Adam Dunn is completely worthless. I would bet that 90% of his home runs come with no one on base and when the game is already decided. He is A-Rod times 100. This guy is the biggest choke/disappointment in the history of the Reds franchise and I hope they trade him for a bag of baseballs. Just a complete embarrassment of a baseball player. God I hope they get rid of this clown.

Eckstein is a stop gap...but also a grit player that isn't a 'star' but you need on a team to bunt, steal a base, etc

Rolen for Glaus- in retrospect a BAD DEAL-

I'm not saying he is perfect-
but he would be thought of HIGHER if he was not in the AL east
competing against NY & Bos

jgb....but he hasnt even gotten close. the just whimper and die every august and september

Not really sure about the comment of the jays having the best 1,2 starter combonation in baseball. I can think of a few better ones!!

Dunn will stay put..............

Somebody needs to tell Ricciardi to go back to teaching and coaching high school

Damn it the Reds must get something of him!!!If they let yet another year go by and lose him for nothing there will be a lot of pissed of Reds fans.
