Trade chips come in all shapes and sizes, from the young, talented prospect to the established veteran looking to move to a contender. Then there’s the change-of-scenery candidate.

CINCINNATI -- Reds rookie Blake Dunn bolted out of the batter’s box in the fifth inning on Friday night and was not only thinking about collecting his first Major League hit. Dunn was thinking double. “I was hustling hard,” Dunn told reporters. “And when I turned around [first] base and

DETROIT -- The Brewers have provided an interesting example of just how confounding baseball offenses can be. Milwaukee scored eight runs Friday night off Tigers starter Reese Olson, a former Brewers’ Draft pick who sported a 2.48 ERA prior to taking the 10-0 loss at Comerica Park. That was coming

SAN DIEGO -- In Padres history, only two players have started in the outfield for the National League All-Star team. And, yes, they’re the two outfielders you were probably thinking of. Tony Gwynn did so nine times during his Hall of Fame career. Dave Winfield did so once. Come July,
