Reports: Adam Dunn Signs With White Sox

Filed under: White Sox, MLB Hot Stove, MLB Free Agency

Adam Dunn is on the verge of finalizing a four-year, $56 million deal with the White Sox, according to multiple reports. The deal will become official after Dunn takes a physical Friday.

The free-agent slugger has long been a target of Chicago general manager Kenny Williams, who reportedly has tried to trade for him more than once. Despite that longtime interest, not much had been said about the White Sox in pursuit of Dunn until earlier Thursday, but signing the 31-year-old immediately becomes their marquee offseason move.

Dunn has averaged 40 home runs a season since 2004 and clearly was the best pure power hitter in this year's free-agent class. He has spent his entire career in the National League, with the Reds, Diamondbacks and Nationals, but moving to the AL will allow him to be utilized as a designated hitter for the first time outside of interleague play.
