Ty wigginton or however you spell it is long gone.
... i dont mind picking up texteria from rangers......

if i was brain cashman, i would give up phillips, an about 2 to 3 farm players for him.

since giambi is a waste of money... he isnt the same jason as before... him an pavano need to go...

dont get me wrong, i like giambi.. but damn, he's not living up to his money.

Texeira will probably end up in Atlanta. I think the Rangers were asking for Hughes or Joba Chamberlain for Texeira or maybe both. If the Yankees do make any moves they will probably be smaller deals.

Konerko has mainly been mentioned in connection with the Angels. I heard Dye brought up in talks with Boston and Milwaukee. White Sox would need to pick up some of Contreas salary in order to trade him.

1 Mark Teixeira, Rangers 1B 1
Mark Teixeira MARKET REPORT

This isn't a negotiation anymore. It's a chess match. No, hold on. It's two chess matches. On one side of the board is Texas GM Jon Daniels. He has an offer from the Braves that clubs we've talked to think the Rangers should jump at. He has two-thirds of an offer from the Angels that forms the foundation for the boldest deadline deal Angels GM Bill Stoneman has ever made. But Daniels hasn't said yes to either of them. Instead, he seems to be waiting for those clubs to fatten those offers even further, while hoping some other team on the periphery (Dodgers, Red Sox, Yankees) comes roaring back into the picture. But on the other side of this chess board are two veteran GMs -- John Schuerholz and Stoneman -- who are tougher to push than a stalled-out Hummer. One of Schuerholz's and Stoneman's peers said Saturday: "My question is, at what point are they pushing the wrong two guys? I'm sure John Schuerholz isn't going to dance like this until the 31st. He's not the kind of guy who's going to sit there and wait till the deadline and wind up not improving his team." Meanwhile, one AL executive had similar sentiments about Stoneman, saying: "Bill is not somebody who will overreact just because somebody is trying to make him think his back is against the wall." So if the Rangers wait much longer, they're on dangerous ground. The Angels, contrary to some of the rumblings out there, apparently have not backed out of the Teixeira derby. What they have done, as we reported in Friday's Stark Market, was tell Texas they were willing to include Casey Kotchman and Joe Saunders, but they've said no way, no chance, no shot on adding either their most advanced pitching prospect, Nick Adenhart, or their most advanced minor league hitter, third baseman Brandon Wood. And that, we're hearing, is a line they've drawn in permanent ink. The Braves also appear to be digging in on their own offer -- of Jarrod Saltalamacchia, shortstop prospect Elvis Andrus and arguably the Braves' best left-handed pitching prospect, Matt Harrison. The Braves still would like to get another player back -- presumably left-hander C.J. Wilson. But there were indications Saturday the Braves might be willing to make a three-for-one trade, although that would open the possibility that the names could change slightly. At this point, the Braves and Angels appear to be treading water, awaiting an answer. But we bet they'll tread for only so long.

4 Jermaine Dye, White Sox RF 6
Jermaine Dye MARKET REPORT

The Red Sox made yet another run at Dye on Friday and could not match up with the White Sox. But we're still having a tough time finding another team that is a better fit. The Angels could have interest if they lose out on Teixeira. But remember, they also have Juan Rivera about to come back from the DL. So while they need another bat, they really don't need another outfielder. The Mets also could have interest if Moises Alou has any more health issues. But at this point, they're working under the assumption that Alou can make it through the rest of the season. Meanwhile, there really aren't any other contenders shopping for an everyday corner outfielder. And Dye wants to go somewhere he can play every day. So we have a hunch the Boston deal still could get revived -- or the White Sox just might wait until August, see if an injury changes the market and then hope Dye makes it through waivers.

A Bronx farewell?
Jul 26 - The Yankees have been calling a few teams to see if they'd be interested in taking center fielder Johnny Damon off their hands, the Newark Star-Ledger reports. One of those teams is believed to be the Braves. Their answer? They liked Damon, "but not at that price."

Damon is signed through 2009 at $13 million per season. If the Yankees were to trade him, which they technically could if they believe Jason Giambi is coming back soon from his foot injury, they'd probably have to chip in a good chunk of that salary. The money and Damon's limited no-trade clause make for a tough sell, but the Yanks still are looking into the possiblity.

Tex is going to Atlanta for Salty and a few prospects. The deal is done.
