Per Rotoworld.com:
That is one hell of a deal. Even if the players don't align perfectly to fit their needs, the Rangers could surely flip someone like Andrus for pitching talent.Sources told FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal that the Braves are offering Jarrod Saltalmacchia, Matt Harrison and Elvis Andrus to the Rangers for Mark Teixeira alone.
If that's the truth, why haven't the Rangers accepted it already? We wouldn't be surprised if the Rangers were floating this to try to get other teams to improve their offers. To get one of baseball's truly elite prospects and two more top-150 guys for a year and a third of Teixeira would be a fine deal for Texas.
I know the Angels have been building a pretty big package with Kotchman, a prospect and the rumored pitcher of Nick Adenhart... so I guess the Rangers are going to see how far they can take this bidding war.
