Houston general manager Ed Wade has denied a report in the Chicago Tribune that the club might make free agent Adam Dunn a contract offer soon. "It was never an item of discussion for us," Wade said. "And even if we had greater resources available, we would have continued to be working the starting pitching market. "We have MVP-caliber players in left field and at first base, and we think Michael Bourn deserves the opportunity to play on an everyday basis [in center field]."
