Gone: Dunn To Sign With White Sox
The Chicago White Sox announced the signing of free agent Adam Dunn. The Nationals' first baseman had previously expressed reluctance to serve as a designated hitter, but his deal with the Pale Hose suggested he was open to the possibility. His departure left Washington with an immediate hole at first base. Speculation at the time pointed to the Nationals pursuing Tampa Bay Rays first baseman Carlos Peña or Arizona's Adam LaRoche as potential replacements.

Adam Dunn was a central figure in the Nationals' lineup during his tenure. Known for his patient approach at the plate and towering home runs, he provided a consistent power threat that opposing pitchers had to navigate. His departure via free agency in December 2010 forced the club to confront a significant vacancy at first base and reshaped the middle of the batting order heading into the following season.
