Any deals for big bats Holliday, Teixeira will go down to wire - Jon Heyman - SI.com

Tue, 22 Jul 2008 03:43:53 +1900

If Matt Holliday or Mark Teixeira are traded, the deals probably won't go down until hours, minutes or even seconds before the 4 p.m. July 31 trade deadline. The Rockies have been looking around for potential deals for Holliday, while the Braves are putting out signals they are going to make a playoff push and thus hold onto Teixeira. Both players appear to be in a similar spot. They could be ...

Youkilis and Hansen for Teixeira?

Sat, 26 Jul 2008 06:14:15 +1900

Ah, the difficulties of being a GM. Should Theo pick up Manny’s option? Should Theo sign Jason Varitek after the season? For right now, the most pressing concern for the Red Sox is what they will do before the July 31 trade deadline. Should the Red Sox consider trading one of their young arms? Where will the Sox find bullpen help? Now that the Yankees have traded for both...

FOX Sports on MSN - Ken Rosenthal - Braves should take good offer for Teixeira

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 10:07:00 +1900

Imagine the Yankees getting Teixeira. If Jorge Posada were out for the season, Teixeira could play first base, with Jason Giambi becoming the DH. Finally, imagine the Angels getting Teixeira. OK, I've already written that column, but hey, the idea still makes sense. Mind you, the Braves still haven't decided that they're sellers. But even after winning two of three from the Marlins, even after ...

Inside Pitch: Braves may be sellers

In the past the Braves have been perennial buyers. This year, however, they are in an intriguing situation. A strong case can be made that the Braves should be sellers.

The Cubs Sale Will Be Like None Other

Fri, 25 Jul 2008 12:46:16 +1900

The thing about the sale of the Chicago Cubs, and all its trimmings (Wrigley Field and ComcastSports Chicago), is it may be unlike any deal prior. Forget looking at the Lerners and Stan Kasten with the Nationals. Forget looking at Liberty Media and the sale of the Braves from Time Warner. Forget the sale of the Dodgers to Frank McCourt. It seems that we should expect the unexpected. This ...

Boone to have MRI

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 12:55:22 +1900

Aaron Boone isn't progressing as Washington had hoped. Originally, when he was placed on the 15-day DL July 10 (retroactive to July 7), the Nationals had guessed that Boone would return by the end of the Atlanta series. That was three days ago. Today, Boone reported continued discomfort with his left calf strain, and now the team has scheduled an MRI for later tonight. I'll keep you posted on the results. In the meamtime, here...Please click on the title to continue reading this entry.

Mike Hampton: I'm (Not) Ready

Wed, 23 Jul 2008 11:25:41 +1900

I will ask you a simple question: What is more intriguing during the dog days of summer than old, soon-to-be washed up left-handed pitchers coming off the disabled list? And if you say NFL training camp I'm going to slap you. That's not interesting. Anyway, it looks like the mostly mediocre Atlanta Braves are very soon going to have not one but two elderly lefties back in their rotation. Tom ...

Teixeira to Tampa Makes a Lot of Sense

Chipper exits with hamstring injury | Braves.com: News

Thu, 24 Jul 2008 02:18:03 +1900

MIAMI -- If the Braves are going to make a run and put themselves back in legitimate playoff contention, they are going to need Chipper Jones. But when they go to Philadelphia for an important three-game series against the Phillies this weekend, they might be without their veteran third baseman. Jones exited Wednesday night's 9-4 win over the Marlins with a strained left hamstring, and he's ...

Game 100: Tigers at Royals

The Tigers are facing Kyle Davies who they have a tangential relationship with. The Royals decided to take up the Braves offer of Kyle Davies for reliever Octavio Dotel last year at ...
