Adam Dunn to the South Side

[tarheelblue89]

The Chicago White Sox have finalized a four-year, $56 million deal with free-agent slugger Adam Dunn, according to a source familiar with the situation.

The deal is pending a physical, which is scheduled for Friday morning, and is not expected to be announced until later in the day.

A baseball source said the Dunn signing does not preclude the White Sox from trying to re-sign Paul Konerko and that Dunn was attracted to the team in part by the possibility of playing in the same lineup with the veteran first baseman.

We NEED Paulie back!!!!!!!

If he's anything other than a DH, Chicago will regret that deal. Perhaps the worst defensive player in the game.

Guy sucks balls. Only time he hits well the game is already decided. Glad he isnt with the Nats anymore.

That's too bad. I liked him. He played a respectable first base (And a 6'6" First baseman makes life easier for your infielders, because he basically gives them a 9' radius in ever direction of the bag to hit.) And he was good for about 40 HRs a year. If we hadn't signed Werth, I'd be really upset.
