Slugger Adam Dunn is still with the Washington Nationals despite a lot of interest from other teams.

Nationals general manager Mike Rizzo said several clubs called about Dunn before Saturday's deadline for making trades without waivers. Rizzo says the Nationals didn't get an offer worth taking.

Dunn leads the Nationals with 24 home runs and 54 RBIs. He was in his usual cleanup spot Saturday night against Philadelphia.

The Nationals did trade All-Star closer Matt Capps and infielder Cristian Guzman in the days leading up to the deadline.

Washington did announce the signing of Cuban pitcher Yunesky Maya. The 28-year-old righty played for Cuba in the 2006 and 2009 World Baseball Classic and was picked as the top pitcher during the country's regular season last year.
