That is, according to Thomas Boswell, there was once talk about the Rays sending Matt Moore to the Nationals for Adam Dunn:
↵It's amazing that the Nats FO wanted to trade a huge name (Dunn) for a southpaw who was an EIGHTH-round pick in the '07 amateur draft. This was the opposite of a no-brainer. It was all brains for the Nats to spot this.↵(Remember, this version is the Nats memory of what happened. If Moore is Cy Young some year I can just about promise that the Rays will say, 'Oh, that would never have happened.' ... )
