Vacation

Ah, nice. Relaxing. Wonderful. That is what my vacation has been already, and it is less than 24 hours old. I will blog plenty, don't you worry. But right now, I am going to the pool and leaving you with this from ESPN Insider that I will comment on later:

Amidst the interest drawn from the Detroit Tigers, among other clubs, the Washington Nationals could be in talks with two other clubs about a three-team trade that would send Adam Dunn to the Chicago White Sox and right-hander Edwin Jackson to Washington, reports ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.

The Nationals, however, maintain that they prefer to sign Dunn to an extension and will only deal the slugger should those attempts fail.

The Diamondbacks would receive young pitching in the deal to help replenish their rotation candidates going forward.

We have to believe it's possible the Nationals would receive more than just Jackson in return for Dunn, though since Dunn is a rental and Jackson is not, the exchange may be deemed somewhat equal in value.
