Rangers Drawing More Interest in Teixeira
Quote:
ARLINGTON -- First baseman Mark Teixeira's time with the Rangers could be drawing to a close.
With eight days to go before the July 31 trade deadline, Major League sources said the Rangers are finding interest in Teixeira to be greater than what's being reported in the national media, and there is more than a reasonable chance that he could be traded before next Tuesday.
The Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Dodgers and the Atlanta Braves appear to be the clubs most active in talking to the Rangers about Teixeira.
The New York Yankees have expressed interest but are adamantly opposed to giving up their top young pitching prospects, a list headed up by Phillip Hughes and Joba Chamberlain. The Baltimore Orioles and the San Francisco Giants also expressed interest earlier but appear to be backing off.
