Before last homestand, Dunn says he wants to stay a Nat

Adam Dunn reiterated Monday that he wants to remain with the Washington Nationals. Even if he first becomes a free agent. "I still want to be here. I don't know what's going to happen," Dunn said before the Nationals opened their final homestand of the season. "Just because I go to free agency doesn't mean I can't come back here or that I don't want to come back here. I do." The slugger leads the Nationals with 35 home runs and 93 RBIs. His representatives are talking to the team about a new contract, but Dunn says he wouldn't be surprised if the process takes so long he becomes a free agent. Players have 15 days after the World Series to file for free agency.

McCourt trial: Jamie McCourt testified Monday in Los Angeles that she didn't read a postnuptial agreement she signed that gives the Los Angeles Dodgers solely to her husband if they divorce, and the couple talked frequently about selling the team if it didn't make any money. The testimony by the former Dodgers CEO and Pikesville native followed a two-week hiatus in her divorce dispute with Frank McCourt, who claims the agreement gives him sole possession of the team. Jamie McCourt wants a judge to throw out the pact and split the Dodgers, the stadium and the surrounding property, worth hundreds of millions of dollars, between her and Frank McCourt.

Adenhart trial: A man charged with murder in a drunken-driving crash appeared shocked in a videotaped interview when police told him about the collision that killed Los Angeles Angels pitcher Nick Adenhart of Washington County and two others. "I did a horrible thing," defendant Andrew Gallo said as he sobbed in the recording played Monday during the trial in Orange County, Calif. Gallo, 23, also rubbed his eyes as the jury watched the interview done soon after the April 9, 2009, collision. Adenhart, 22, died just hours after pitching six scoreless innings at Angel Stadium in Anaheim. Two of his companions, Courtney Stewart, 20, and Henry Pearson, 25, also died. Another friend was critically injured.
