Will Adam Dunn be back in Washington next year or not? It's a question that's been asked pretty often this season, and one that Dunn has had to change his answer to more than a few times. Dunn had hoped to work out an extension both in spring training and during the season, but when the trade deadline rolled around and it hadn't happened, he seem resigned to the fact that his days in Washington were numbered.

Only the Nationals did not move their most valuable trade chip at the deadline, and now it seems Dunn's feelings about next year have changed once more. Not only does he want to be back in the nation's capital next season, he thinks he will be.

"I do (think I'll return to the Nationals)," Dunn told the Washington Post. "More than I did a month ago. Talks have picked back up. We'll see what happens. We're obviously talking. We're going to work something out, I think."
