Adam Dunn signed a two-year deal with the Nationals last offseason, but it's clear that Washington wants him over the long-term.

The slugger said on Friday that the extension is "something I want to do." Talks are still preliminary -- Dunn described them at "stage zero" -- but the mutual interest underscores the satisfaction on both sides.
