Sorry Taro, but you sound like Dave Cameron right now (and we all know what I think of Dave Cameron).  Dunn coming to Seattle would almost certainly include a window to talk contract extension, so you're not talking about a 1-year rental...you're talking about buying the next 3 years of Dunn's prime at something like 13 mil/year averaged.  In this position, I would ABSOLUTELY consider trading a couple of decent prospects to the Gnats for Dunn...it's not like we're acquiring a guy who is likely to implode any time soon, and it's not like the prospects we'd be paying would be guys that have a high probability of ever being anywhere near as good as Adam Dunn.
I think it's crazy to NOT trade for Adam Dunn if you don't have to give up established major leaguers under club control to do it.  And frankly, wringing your hands over Dunn making 12 mil/year (when all of the statistics make it clear that he is EASILY worth 12 mil/year in an average season)...is just plain old silly.
