A's Acquire Adam Dunn

**broadway6** · 08-31-14, 12:03 PM

80 hits. 132 strikeouts. .220 batting average. But oh wait he has 20 homers.

**Ratpack** · 08-31-14, 12:04 PM

Better than what they have now

**Mr KLC** · 08-31-14, 12:10 PM

The lineup will still be missing some punch. I bet they wish they still had Chris Carter right now.

**jjgold** · 08-31-14, 12:37 PM

I think that could help him might be able to smack a homer once in a while

**CWD** · 08-31-14, 12:38 PM

might be just what they need to get their heads back in it

then again could be a complete bust you give up nothing you usually get nothing

**The Giant** · 08-31-14, 02:52 PM

Adam Dunn will be retiring after the season.

**Pauulzcappin** · 08-31-14, 03:37 PM

A's are a trainwreck

scott kazmir got pounded back to back starts and they cant hit

if seattle wasnt slumping they would miss playoffs

**Bostongambler** · 08-31-14, 03:49 PM

Reminds me of Rob Deer

Why retire at 460 HRs???? Play a few more seasons get 500!

**CDUBB_CW** · 08-31-14, 09:10 PM

Most overrated GM in sports, at least Jerry Jones can look back at SBs from the 90s.

I like the pickup , really gave up nothing

**Cross** · 08-31-14, 11:28 PM

Should get them some k's and an occasional hr.

The 20 HRs is probably all they care about. A's know what they are getting and they gave up nothing for it so why not.

**darrell74** · 09-01-14, 12:13 AM

bad move

White Sox fans are happy though

**kidcudi92** · 09-01-14, 12:21 AM

nothin like a trade out of pure desperation due to bad choices made in other trades

**laclippers504** · 09-01-14, 01:15 AM

Worth a shot. Not like Cespedes was hitting 300 either. Dunn still can hit some Jacks and he walks quite a bit

**BarkingToad** · 09-01-14, 04:37 AM

Only thing he has in common with Cespedes is he can occasionally homer, that's it. Probably harder to get his homers against better pitching in the playoffs. He's likely to retire after the season although A's didn't give up much.

This

**Otters27** · 09-01-14, 09:01 AM

He strikes out a lot but if he is better than what they have now give it a shot. Sometimes guys like this can put a short term streak

Well, a strikeout is better than hitting into double plays.

**Robber** · 09-01-14, 10:46 PM

Dunn came up big today!

**frenchfry669** · 09-01-14, 10:47 PM

will he make the a's a contender again? dunn dunn dunn

**Killer_Demo** · 09-01-14, 11:02 PM

Beane reaching high & low for a bat. Not gonna replace Cespedes production.

**Rich Boy** · 09-01-14, 11:26 PM

Dunn with a game winning HR, not bad so far

Sometimes all you need is a little motivation in a playoff race

in a few days he'll be talking about possibly retiring again

**laclippers504** · 09-01-14, 11:41 PM

Always liked Dunn. Hope he can keep it up

**willyback** · 09-02-14, 12:03 AM

The A's front office is active this year. However, I'm not too big on their chances of actually getting to the World Series. The A's are a good regular season team. For reasons unknown, they don't seem to have a collective skill level that carries over well into the playoffs.

**darrell74** · 09-02-14, 12:19 AM

Willyback said it perfectly.

I just don't get it.
Billy Beane seems like a maniac

**Cross** · 09-02-14, 12:22 AM

Three bills of pure power.
