According to ESPN, slugger Adam Dunn was traded today from the Reds to the Diamondbacks in exchange for three prospects.

Dunn is known for his home-run power and low batting average, despite his ability to draw walks. Currently, Dunn and Ryan Howard are tied for the NL lead for HRs with 32 each.

Dunn is a free agent after this year, and is likely just a rental for the D’backs.

Who Is Hot Foot?

Hot Foot was founded by a group of life long friends who also happen to be die hard Mets fans. Hot Foot comes from the great 1986 Mets relief pitcher Roger McDowell who would use a wad of gum to stick a roll of cigarettes to the back of unsuspecting teammates shoes and light them on fire, thus a Hot Foot. Hot Foot is inspired by the same rock and roll baseball mentality of Roger and the 86 Mets. We provide uncensored commentary, news, notes, rumors and analysis revolving around the world of the Amazin New York Mets.
