Teixeira Watch is Officially Started

By: mbohn

If there was any doubt before, the Braves took it all away yesterday when they reportedly told other MLB teams that they plan to move Mark Teixeira before Thursday’s deadline. It would appear that this decision was made for the Braves when they wereforced to place Chipper Jones and Tim Hudson on the 15 day Prior List, not to mention that Brian McCann is out a few days with a mild concussion. So who are the Braves most likely to send Tex to?According to MLB.com, the Dodgers, Angels, Red Sox, Yankees and D-Backs are all in the mix for big Tex.
At the moment it appears that the D-Backs are the proverbial front runners for Teixeira. The Braves are looking at Conor Jackson and Chad Tracy from Arizona, and moving Jackson would make sense if Arizona thinks they can ink Tex to a long term deal. If not, they had better not move one of the best first base prospects to rent a player for two months. The D-Backs have other players to offer up as well (I’m looking at you, Max Scherzer), so this could get interesting down the stretch.
