UPDATE 4:00 EST: Just an update here, Buster Olney just tweeted that the Diamondbacks are "making progress" on trading Jackson. Don't know if its connected to the three team trade or not.
According to ESPN's Jayson Stark, the Chicago White Sox, Washington Nationals, and Diamondbacks are looking into the possibility of three team trade. The reported deal would send slugger Adam Dunn to Chicago, pitcher Edwin Jackson to Washington, and a bunch of prospects to Arizona.
The White Sox have been in on Dunn since the beginning of the month as they look for a left handed power source. However, it is in question as to whether or not GM Mike Rizzo will deal Dunn as extension talks with him are off and on. The White Sox have also been in on Brewers first baseman Prince Fielder to fill their need for a left-handed power source.
For the Nats, the team has recently expressed interested in the D'Backs' Edwin Jackson. Jackson, hasn't had the best season so far but he he had an All-Star season with Detroit last season and certainly can perform well. Despite having a disappointing season, Jackson does have a no-hitter to his name and can contribute to a young pitching staff like the Nationals have.
The D'Backs have showed that they are ready to throw in the white towel and conduct a fire sale as yesterday they dealt Dan Haren the the Angels in a salary dump situation. Jackson could be next to go.

Washington Nationals Player Trades
There is two ways to look at the Nationals; one, they just don’t have the talent; two, they are not getting/putting forth kind of effort needed to win; or three, a combinatiion of one and two. I believe it is number three. However, I don’t think you can fix the talent thing with mid season trades. In this context, I place most of the blame on the management. This group is as decisive as a ripe banana and is always looking for an angle and a way to cheat the fans and the players. When it comes to playing the game, this team is essentially dumb (just look at the errors and the mistakes on the basepaths). When you are one and two in the order your job is to get on base (walk, hit by a pitch, get the pitcher to throw as many pitches as possible). All season, there has been no one doing that job. Its hard for Zimmerman, Dunn and Willingham really do their jobs at the plate if these people don’t get on base. It seems that all anyone worries about is their stats. There is only one stat and thats Winning. When you win, the stats take care of themselves.
Nats don't win by getting just Jackson.
They need to deal straight up with the White Sox and get Daniel Hudson plus one other prospect.
Why not us? Why not now?
