harris5214 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=2947494 Executives with other teams believe that the Texas Rangers are definitely intent on trading first baseman Mark Teixeira before the July 31 trade deadline, which would make Teixeira the most prominent player dealt. The rival executives say that the Rangers' demands for Teixeira have come down bit by bit. In addition, the Rangers feel they can get one or more of the targeted prospects that they can ask for from the targeted teams. At the outset of the Teixeira trade talks, for example, the Rangers had insisted the Yankees include either Joba Chamberlain or Phil Hughes, one of the Yankees' top pitching prospects, and had asked the Dodgers for three top prospects. They had asked the Red Sox for pitcher Clay Buchholz and center fielder Jacoby Ellsbury. The Angels, Braves and Giants are also involved in talks for Teixeira.

GM Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 While the Texas Rangers are pushing switch-hitting first baseman Mark Teixeira hard on the New York Yankees, they aren't biting. Especially since the Rangers have eyes for stud pitching prospect Joba Chamberlain. "They have told teams (Chamberlain) is untouchable," an AL talent evaluator said of the Yankees, who are very close to promoting Chamberlain and Ian Kennedy from Double-A Trenton to Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre.

Thor99 Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Barring an injury, what would the Sox do with him? Bench Lowell and move Youks to 3rd? Would love to have his bat in the 5 spot, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its also the fact that Teixeira is a free agent after the season and his agent is Scott Boras. Boras has already said that he is looking for 20 - 30 million dollars per year.

Bugg Posted July 25, 2007 Share Posted July 25, 2007 Are you guys ****ing nuts I trade an unknow Chamberlain for Mark ****kking Texiera in a NY second This guy is a young stud everyday player I make the move You can land a free agent corner power hitter in the offseason without giving up a stud starter. Maybe even texiera if the Rangers refuse arbitration or decide they don't wanty to pay the arbitrator's price-both possibilities. 13 HRs, .302 and 47 RBIs is not so great. Doing that kind of stupidity-like pissing away Jose Rijo, Doug Drabek, Bob Tewksbury and Al Leiter in the 1980s for fool's gold is how the Yankees sucked before this run. Chamberlain has been favorably compared to John Smoltz. Besides, between Giambi coming back and Duncan's run, where does Texiera get ABs? Thankfully Cashman is running the Yankees, not you.

What would it take for JonEJinx to run the Yankees? That's my dream right there! Back to Teix...the Yankees are fools if they dont get this done. But where oh where would Johnny Damon be playing next year and the following year? Melk Dud is probably gonna take Johnny's job for good one day soon. And if for some reason Damon remains an outfielder next year, where is Barry Bonds gonna play? Juicin' Jason will presumably DH if he doesnt get indicted between now and then?!?!? Still, I make room for Teix if I am the Tankees. By the way can he pitch? Can he set up Mariano by any chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree 100% Steinbrenner once wanted to pull the trigger on a trade late in 1983 to ship Mattingly to Cleveland for Toby Harrah. thankfully he was talked out of it.

Coulda, shoulds woulda-like Rijo, Drabek, Leiter and Tewsbury?All solid,servicable starter who, but for stupidity, would've been the Yankees rotation form the late 1980s until the mid-1990s. So you give up a low walk, high K, big fastball and curve stud starter-the rarest of all commodities in baseball, and one in your farm system, so he's yours for several years on the cheap-for an aging, decent but not superstar 1st baseman, arguably the most available of commodities who will cost millions and probably break down like Giambi, Damon, Abreu and Matsui as you pay him a ridiculous salary at the end of his big contract. Also, Texiera broke down last year, so he's no Iron Horse. What can I say? Yeah, go get'em! Great idea! Ask the Mets about Kamzir for the bad Zambrano, the Sawx about Biggio for Anderson, or the Tiggers about Smoltz for Doyle Alexander, or the Yanks about Leiter for Barfield. Yeah, go get'em! Give up that not even eligible arbitration 1/2 starter for someone you can get in November for a pen and your checkbook, if you're still so inclined. And you'll be the same guy to 2nd guess it when Chamberlain blossoms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't mind giving up a few prospects. We have plenty of OF prospects, thats for sure. And Delgado is getting old and I think that next year is his last year.

Tex has another year left on his current contract, so a team has plenty of time to sign him to an extension. He's 27 years old, presumably just entering his prime and he's a stud. Youkilis and a prospect not named Ellsbury or Bucholz. I do that trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tex missed about 25 games this year and normally tears the cover off the ball in the 2nd half. Duncan had a nice w/end against a staff that doesn't belong in the majors.....let's not go crazy and think getting Shelley AB's would be given a 1/2 second of thought in considering trading for Texeira......Giambi for that matter either. We are talking about a 27 year old Gold Glove, star 1st Baseman who abuses RH pitching and is perfect for Yankee Stadium. If Chamberlain is the price, kudos to Cashman for sticking to his guns and saying no. I hope the kid is the real deal.....prospects are unkowns at the Major League level....Texeira is a given.

You're not signing him you are trading for him. It's a Baseball forum sport...Yanks included.... and the Yanks do have a extremely high payroll. Just because I think he is a great trade for candidate by ANY team in need a a 1B now and in the future has nothing to do with how Yank fans feel. Thats why it's called a discussion board.

I just think Tex is worth it especially when the Yanks right now have multiple prospects at SP that are "projected" to be studs. Don't let the "balanced" attack right now against some atrocious staffs fool you into thinking some of these guys will perform the same against the staffs of Boston, Detroit, Cleveland and Anaheim.
