Saw this on SOSH site. Supposedly mentioned in Sports Weekly. Texas would in all certainty ask for SP (impact/ML ready) for Mark T. . Contreras ( if we could get him straight) just might be the ticket to getting this guy. Nothing like a young switch hitter with power, although its been a slow season offensively for him so far. We would then obviously have to replace Contreras. Garcia anyone? Your thoughts.

I dont want Garcia and his 4.50 era and 30 bombs per year...lets get Jason S from SF...
Palmer killed Billy Mays
Texas would be insane to trade Texeiria. If they were wed have no chance at all of accquiring him Texas would want like really, really good prospects and cheap young players (remember Texeria was the #1 prospect in baseball last year and had a pretty good rookie year.)
Agreed about Garcia...he puts those numbers up in Safeco. However I don't like Jason Schmidt either. He has been horribly overused and is ripe for injury.Originally posted by NYYFAN

Back to Teixeira...where would we put him and why would Texas (or anyone) take Contreas' contract off our hands based on his performance thus far? Even if we pay some of it, we would still need to get a 5th starter, raising payroll further. I say if we are gonna trade Contreas and eat some salary they should do it for another SP, not another bat when we have been gellin' so well lately.
That is probably the number one reason why slim to none of the trades ever mentioned on inside the lines will go down.Originally posted by RhodyYanksFan

Impossible. There's no way they'd trade Teixeira, not even to the Dodgers for Edwin Jackson and Greg Miller. No way.
Mark Teixeira probably has the best power bat of any player his age (not counting Albert Pujols) and is a lock to hit 40 HR a year for a decade or longer. He's going to hit for average too, eventually.
They're not trading him.
why would they trade a cheap, young, good talent, would make no sense at all.
Are you smoking crack? NO WAY they trade Teixeira! He's an absolute STUD
Contreras has absolutely no trade value. None whatsoever. He's too old and too questionable. Especially not for someone like Teixiera.
Tom Hicks and the Texas Rangers will be even dumber if they trade Mark Teixeira.
They have a good young nucleus including Hank Blalock, Kevin Mench, and R.A. Dickey. The Rangers need to develop most of their young talent, especially pitching, and build around these guys.

contreas wouldnt get teixeira. ARE YOU NUTS?
With Contreres' bloated contract and injury history you would be lucky to get a bag of balls from texas... dirty waterlogged balls. Texiera's contract is perfect for a team who has to pay chan ho (its out of the) park 14 mil a year.
Mussina would probably be able to get the deal done, but the yanks would be nuts to do that.
What the H@LL, do you guys really need another bat?
There are so many reasons why this is a dumb rumor, my fingers would fall of my hands if I tried to type them all.
Why don't we offer them Cairo for Blaylock while we're at it!

Contrary to the learned opinions around here, Contreras can beat any team other than Boston and beside a few hiccups, has done so. Unfortunately, he is too unstable for Yankeedom, but in a low pressure environment he just might be dominant. A few more successful starts and his stock will rise to the point that Texas might have to throw Sori in the deal to make it fair.Originally posted by parkerstrong

You never know...the only thing that makes any Teixeira rumor possible is the fact that Hicks is in charge...he is one of the few people in MLB dumb enough to let a guy like that go.Originally posted by BroadwayBomber55

The reason there is a possibilty is that they have a awsome power 1B that has as much upside as Mark Texiera. Adrian Gonzalez is the key player in there farm system and they feel that they can get better starting pitching for Texiera then Gonzalez because Texiera is already pro Level.
If the numbers were right i'd bet on the weather.
Gonzalez has nowhere near the upside of Tex.Originally posted by firemanx

I don't know that I would consider Dickey part of their young talent. They guy is almost 30 and in his 3 2 previous major league seasons hasn't had an ERA under 5 and this year it is 5.34. What you see is what you get, I doubt he will get much better.Originally posted by BroadwayBomber55

The Yankees would be nuts to trade Mussina for Teixiera??. Hmmmm... curious. I wonder how many would agree with you? I, for one, would do such a deal in the twinkling of an eye.Originally posted by YeboManny

then you're not thinking very straight there pal. trading a very good starting pitcher especially of Moose's caliber would be nuts.Originally posted by Allan

Under most circumstances, I would agree with you, and I certainly am in no hurry to unload Moose. However, a player with Teixiera's credentials doesn't come along all that often. I see this as a case of "carpe diem" . As was the deal with A-Rod , this would be an opportunity that shouldn't be missed. You want quality, you pay the price.Originally posted by Yankee Bulldawg

Teixiera is not going ANYWHERE. THE END

Texas has a load of hitting and a top first-base prospect, Adrian Gonzalez, nearly ready, so one scout said, "I would trade Mark Teixeira if I could get a young, high-end starter."

No one should give any credence to the comments of an anonymous scout.
Nothing to say
In addition, you would have to be an idiot to trade Tex in favor of Gonzalez.Originally posted by Rich

I did hear though that Teixeira has Boras as an agent and the Rangers are trying to weed out the Boras clients, they have been burnt too many times.
Fortunatly for Texas Boras has yet to figure out a way to get around the reserve clause. Texierias under Texas control for the next 6 years whether Boras likes it or not.Originally posted by MaineSoxFan
