A reported dispute between Cincinnati outfielder Adam Dunn and Toronto GM J.P. Ricciardi has taken an intriguing turn, according to the Associated Press.Last week, Ricciardi criticized Dunn on a Toronto radio station, accusing the slugger of lacking passion for the game. After reading a transcript of the remarks, Dunn shot back, calling Ricciardi a 'clown sitting in the front office pushing paper.' Before the Reds played at Toronto Tuesday, Ricciardi said he had taken a call from Dunn on Saturday and apologized for starting the furor. Asked later about the call, Dunn denied it had taken place. Ricciardi now believes he may have been the victim of a prank.
