Adam Dunn Aquired By The Arizona Diamondbacks

The Arizona Diamondbacks acquired outfielder
Adam Dunn from the Cincinnati Reds on Tuesday
in exchange for Minor League pitcher Dallas Buck
and two players to be named later.

Dunn, 28, is hitting .233 and is tied for the
Major League lead with 32 home runs and 74 RBIs
this year in 114 games. The right fielder has an
on-base percentage of .373 and a slugging percentage
of .528.

Dunn will become a free agent after making $13 million
this year.

Buck was selected in the third round of the 2006 First-Year
Player Draft and underwent Tommy John surgery last year. He
returned to action a couple of months ago and went 1-4 with
a 3.94 ERA in nine games (eight starts) for Class A South Bend.
The right-hander was promoted to Arizona's high-A ball team in
Visalia earlier this month and in his lone start allowed three
unearned runs in five innings.
