Lot of talk from insiders about the braves getting Teixeira and Millwood for Salty.

i feel like this could be a great deal for atlanta if we can resign Teixeira.
Salty has stud written all over him, but we are set at catcher with McCann

Any thoughts?

isnt it a given that texiera is going to sign with baltimore after the season? probably just a rental for the braves.

That would be great I would be happy with that Mccann is great and we could part with salty especially since we have had great catchers for a long time.

I think Texiera is going everywhere.....Hes a Scott Boras guy....he's going to go to the highest bidder, and he wont sign until the offseason....he's going to weigh all his options.....I cant imagine him in Baltimore....that franchise is in dissary.....Girardi didnt even wanna manage there....they will be selling before they start buying.......the Atlanta deal seems pretty good, and would be good for Texas, since they probably wont resign Texiera.......living here in Detroit, I was kind of hoping we would try and sign him in the off season......I think he would fit perfectly here....he'd look great batting between Sheffield and Mags.....but I dont think we would trade for him this year....Casey is just fine......he's definately the biggest name out there right now though!

texiera is supposedly going to turn down more lucrative offers from bigger markets/better teams to play for baltimore next year. which is why i think anyone who trades for him now basically is doing so knowing he is a rentral.

You may be right Prodigy.....its just that usually Scott Boras clients dont take cheap deals.....maybe he's the exception....I do agree he's a rental for the rest of the year if someone trades for him.....I just dont think he will end up signing with Baltimore....unless they pay him the most....but I guess we'll just see in the off season......

the braves announcer have been talking about it but not about him coming to atlanta. They were saying that texas wants pitching for him and Salty is definitely not pitching.

Salty for Millwood and Tex? The Braves will need to sweeten that deal.
