Dunn had 20 home runs and 54 RBI in 106 games for the Sox this season. Some sports fans aren't exactly sad to see Dunn go.

I didn’t hate you, and I never booed you. Nor do I blame you for the way things went down. But I’m not sad to see you go, Adam Dunn.

According to the Chicago Tribune, "Dunn agreed to waive his no-trade clause to make the deal happen before Sunday night's deadline for postseason eligibility."

Dunn, who "often failed to meet the expectations that come with a $56 million contract," has a month left with the Sox.

The Sox spilt a doubleheader against the Tigers yesterday. [The Cubs, for their part, also split a doubleheader.]
