Not Dunn Yet

His first year in a Boston uniform was a dynamic one. After fifth place finishes in their first two seasons, a four-year deal for then San Antonio slugger Adam Dunn and a strong draft helped launch the Boston Riders' fortunes.

Dunn hit 48 homers, drove in 121 runs, scored 100 and hit 14 of those homers during a September pennant race en route to winning Northern League Outstanding Hitter honors.

His last two seasons have seen a decline, most recently hitting .253 with 28 homers and 84 RBI this past season. But Boston believes there's more to come.

Dunn, 30, and Boston have agreed to a four-year extension that will keep the brawny Texan in town through the 2022 season.

"Their faith in me means a lot," Dunn said. "You don't always get that in this business. Now I need to deliver."

Boston General Manager Daniel Santos said Dunn earned it despite hit recent slide.

"Adam lifted us to prominence," Santos said. "His off year is 28 homers, 84 runs and 84 RBI. I'll take my chances that at 30 years old he can better that again."

The deal is reportedly worth $25.9 million.

Dunn currently sits fifth on the PBL's alltime home run list with 241.
