D-backs get Dunn from Reds

[b0nedry]

i actually love this move for Adam as well as the d-backs. I think he will do great things out here and they will love him for it.

Any possibility at all of Stubbs coming up and getting some playing time now that both Griffey and Dunn are gone? I am pretty sure he is at AA currently hitting .315. Not sure he has been there that long though.

Dunn will do very well with the D-backs. He fits with the organization.

Stubbs only has 92 AB (0 HR, 9 RBI, 11 BB, 21 K) above A ball, although the .315 BA is certainly an improvement and a promising stat.

I'm guessing the Reds will give him some more time to mature in the minors and get some ABs.

IIRC, their AAA team is pretty dominant right now, and it appears they have 3 OF hitting right around .290 and they are 27, 26, and 23 years old, so they could turn into good big leaguers yet themselves.

how does one get traded after the trade deadline?

If a player clears waivers, they can be traded after the deadline.

I guessed I missed the fact he was on waivers. Don't you have to be released to be on waivers? I guess not.

Maybe I'm thinking NBA
