| Trade rumor: Teixeira to the yankees? |
|
Is this trade possible and if it is serious who would texas want for him |
|
Tex isn't just a bat. Yanks need a 1st baseman. And he's one of the best, defensively. But i hope they don't give up any pitching prospects for him. Especially since he'll go to his home town, Baltimore, at the end of this season. |

They would probably want pitching, something the Yankees just dont have right now. No and they would probably want the top 2 or 3 Yankees pitching prospects and Andy Phillips i did hear that however not too sure who the rangers would want. i wouldn't mind giving up abreu and cash but that's me.... Very possible. We want prospects. Our team sucks, much like the Yankees. But whereas the Yankees are a very good team on paper (the individual parts are much better than the sum), we aren't! Tex is gonna cost us a lot to resign and while we are pretty decent at developing infielders, we can not scout and develope pitching, especially SP. I think we probably want a top AAA and AA pitcher prospect, or 2 AA pitching prospects. It will take Texas several years to contend for anything so we need to trade Tex, Sosa, and anyone else we have that someone wants. The Yankees don't need another bat, they need starting pitching and help in the bull pen. Another bat will not help them catch the Red Sox or win the Wild Card. I can't see this trade actually happening. Texas has a stud hitter that makes about 9 million a year. A bargain by today's standards. I'm not sure if this is the last year of his contract though. They will obviously want pitching prospects and the Yankees have said time and time again, that they are not willing to part with those prospects. I'm sure Texas wants Phillip Hughes, and I highly doubt the Yankees would part with an incredible talent like that. they dont need a hitter they need pitching Send Hughes and you can have him. |
