Dunn Rumor (Dead)

[Roscoe Chill]

That isnt true. They may be waiting for after the game to announce it, they may have some last minute details on the deal to work out.

 

I'm sorry, but if they are anywhere even close to a trade involving Tony Gwynn he wouldn't be playing today. That doesn't mean a deal involving Gwynn won't happen tomorrow or next week, but if this is a "done deal" Gwynn wouldn't be playing. Who knows, Gwynn might not be involved? But how would you feel if you were Doug Melvin and had possibly a trade like this done, and Gwynn hurts himself today?

[afeter]

i have it on authority from a close friend that this is a quote "DUNN DEAL". Wise and Minor Leaguer.

 

 

we'll have to wait until after the game most likely.

[Ennder]

Maybe they heard the rumor and were running to the clubhouse to see if it was true...

Wise is out in the pen. I don't think this deal is on.

Is he crying and giving everyone hugs?

[panthernick]

Anyone spotted running off the field gives a rumour credibility?

 

I saw a groundskeeper run off the field as well.

 

Maybe both teams are getting a guy who can really rake.

 

This is the exact reason why I never post here..... http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/ohwell.gif

Ok, Does anyone have any facts on this? How do you know your friends not wrong?

[brewers255]

Kinda off-topic but did anyone hear what happened to Overbay today? Lyle Overbay was scratched from Thursday's lineup after falling down in his hotel room.

Is he crying and giving everyone hugs?

 

LOL

 

anyways, here's another site with more speculation for anyone who wants to kill some more time at work.

Yep, and he is getting a bunch of salad tongs as going away presents...

I just tried calling Doug Melvin's office and the secretary asked who I was so I hung up.

[brewers255]

They Just mentioned it on WSSP and said it would not be final untill tonight.

 

Is this true?

Why didn't you say Wayne Krivsky?

[brewmann04]

wise and bow are best friends so maybe he was going with him to make sure.

[BrewCrewForever]

Would you do

 

Tony Gwynn Jr

Matt Wise

Rickie Weeks

and a mid level prospect

 

for

 

Dunn

Phillips

 

That would be amazing. I hate to give up on Rickie, but look at Phillips numbers, they are awesome for a 2B, like almost Utley like.

[craigharmann]

Could it be that maybe Melvin is trying to make another trade of Gwynn or Mench (or other parts) for bullpen help before announcing this trade? Just a thought.

Come on man. He never meant it to give it credibility. He came on the site and saw this thread minutes after his friend told him that. He added what he could had at the time. It is quite a coincidence that his friend said this to him at the same time this rumor is going on. It may mean nothing, but dont discourage someone for saying something like that.

[BrewCrewForever]

If they get Dunn one of the other OF's would have to be gone, right? Plus you have Hall coming back very soon. Gwyyn back to AAA and Jenks or Mench gone? Or Gross?

[endaround]

Or Hall to 2B.

[Loopee]

Internet forums are places people go to get fast information.

 

If you want more reliable info from vetted sources wait for someone like SI or the J-S to make a statement about it.

 

If you want 100% rock-solid info just wait til it's official.

[zzzmanwitz]

Gywnn would be part of the deal. So we would still have 6 OFs.

[giffted1]

Powell mentioned the team had a lengthy staff meeting before the game today, hmmm....

[zzzmanwitz]

Lengthy staff meeting before the game today? hmmmmmmmmm

If this rumor has any truth to it, DM could definitely be trying to finalize another trade, so as not to be caught short in the bullpen, etc.

 

However, I just don't think the Brewers would be looking for a player like Dunn. I would think they would be in the market for more of a pure hitter - a guy who consistently hits well avg/ops-wise... not a guy who is power or nothing (even though Dunn does walk a bunch).

 

Jim Powell just reported that the Brewers had a "lengthy staff meeting this morning - something that is unusual for happening prior to a day game" so there may be something going on.

[zzzmanwitz]

LOL... awesome double post, both with "hmmmmmmmmm"

[sheetswannabe]

Uke just said they had a lengthy meeting this morning.....DM would like to strike a deal....
