The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Adam Dunn is looking for a "$100 to $120 million contract."
Bronson Arroyo says that fact was no secret in the Cincinnati clubhouse. Dunn is 28 years old with an career OPS of .900, which is almost exactly the case with free agent-to-be Mark Teixeira, with Teixeira posting a better batting average. Both should manage $100 million deals in the world of ever-expanding baseball salaries.

If there is someone dumb enough to take Teixeira for ten years and Dunn for $120 for no telling how long, may god have NO mercy on their souls. Vlad Guerrero is making $13 million this year!

How did it ever come to this, especially for a .247 hitter?

I hope Mofo is an Adam Dunn fan.

Actually, I could see someone paying Dunn the 800k per strikeout, but I bet it comes from someone we'd never expect.

I love Dunn but I would never give him a 100 million dollar deal.

4/55-65? Sure, but never at that reported price.

What? No sarcastic quip about how I'd give Dunn 100 mil?

You're slacking, KoZ

Perf's given him 90 million over 4 years in TPSL....it could happen.

He also won 2 World Series.

So maybe signing Dunn to a HUGE deal means your team becomes a winner?

browntown653 · **Re: Here's More Comedy -** 08-13-2008, 02:02 AM

I don't think he has a 7 contact in real life.

I hope so

ljshorty89 · **Re: Here's More Comedy -** 08-13-2008, 02:03 AM

But he does have a career OBP of .380, and a career OPS+ of 130

I'm having a hard time deciding who is more likely to get their 100 million contract:

Dunn or Manny?

Give $93 million to Teixeira to play 1b and $93 million to Dunn to play left field.

OPSOPSOPSOPSOPS!!!

Maybe the Dbacks can give Adam Dunn the $100 million that he wants so they can trade Justin Upton so he can become the next American League MVP.
