Not saying teams are smart with the money they pay players, but what was this deal that Milton Bradley just got this offseason from the Cubs? I believe they are paying him 5mil this year, they could have gotten Abreu for the same money for the most part whom I believe is the better player by far and doesn't bring the "crazy" factor that Bradley does.
I guess Abreu probably lowered his demands as time went on and it isn't a shock that him and Dunn both ink deals within a day or two of each other, I am sure one was waiting to see what the other got before signing with a team.

He probably could have got a longer deal, but I think the issue with him is his fielding lately. He still has a hell of an arm, but watching him play his defense looks slack, although, it's certainly better than Manny's.
Dunn I've never been impressed with him. He's a strikeout king..at least that's what I see.. stats may say otherwise. Bradley, well, yeah he's crazy but he's probably a better overall player than Abreu.
