Per MLB.com and they've got something up on Athletics Nation as well. Apparently he had a bit of a dust-up after the game last night.
Not sure if this is really going to affect the team on the field that much since he's been absent from so many games, but you have to think that this makes a lot more likely that they'll be active in the trade market. Don't be surprised to see Dunn end up in Oakland.
Have to say that I agree with Nico at AN. It's a head scratcher, but you have to give a GM like Beane the benefit of the doubt.

A's and strikeouts
Matt Stairs - Averaged over 100 Ks in his three best years in Oakland
John Jaha - 130 Ks in his one good year in Oakland
Nick Swisher - 150 Ks last year
Eric Chavez - Averaged over 100 Ks per season since 2000.
Power and plate discipline. In fact, there's an argument to be made that those players are much more prone to strike outs because a) they swing bigger, and b) they tend to take a lot of pitches, which invariably leads to more 2 strike counts.

That's like saying
A's: Just draw walks. Take pitches. We don't care if it leads to more strikeouts.
Angels: Swing. Put the ball in play. Walks are overrated anyway.

Wonder if Stoneman is looking at MB?

Maybe there's just no room for him?
Maybe after this latest incident, and with his tendency to spend more time on the DL than the field, they decided they could afford to lose him.

When a team has no hitting, and they get rid of...
You know the guy must be the biggest asshole ever.

A simple decision really
Guy has been a hot-head in the past and flipped out at an ump last night
Guy still has some trade value
No GM believes two-faced Billy Beane when he calls up with trade offers, so the DFA is an official announcement that the A's are looking for the best offer over the next ten days.
Reminder - this is a SIMPLE decision, not a GENIUS decision.
Trading Ethier for Bradley was not a GENIUS decision either.
There is one genius GM named Bill in the AL West and it is not Bavasi or Beane.
