IMO there is no way that happens. The Rangers would have to be on crack to let Teixeira go.
Supposedly the St. Louis deal is about to go down. Texas (Teixeira) and the Mets (Reyes ) are making last ditch efforts to get Hudson. Braves are out.
Maine has a good swing for a pitcher but on anything that moves, he has no chance. And if it's a fastball, it has to be up in the zone. Basically, the pitcher has to hit his bat. - Mike Pelfrey

Drew, Wright depart; Braves confirm talks to trade Giles
December 9
Atlanta Journal-Constitution (registration required): "The Braves have talked to Oakland about a possible trade involving second baseman Marcus Giles and Athletics ace Tim Hudson, who's owed $6.75 million in the final year of his contract and can become a free agent after next season... The Yankees are trying to peddle volatile former All-Star Kevin Brown on the Braves, but New York would have to cover almost his entire $15 million contract and the Braves wouldn't give up much talent in return for the Georgia Tech graduate."
It makes the most sense for the Yankees to just keep Brown. He has a ton of talent and paying for him to play for someone else not only makes the Yankee staff more thin and less talented, but its also a bigger waste of money than paying him a couple more million to play for the Yankees.
According to TSN's Ken Rosenthal and ESPN's Dan Patrick, the Cardinals and A's could be close to agreeing to a Tim Hudson trade. Some combination of Dan Haren, Jason Marquis, Kiko Calero, Rick Ankiel and Daric Barton would have to be involved in the deal. The A's wouldn't get both Haren and Marquis, but they'd have to get one of two and then one or two of the other three. Dec. 9 - 3:49 pm et

yeah - I really dont understand why Yankee fans want to rid themselves of arguably their best SP.

I could maybe see if they could trade him to someone who was willing to pay his entire salary, but paying him to play somewhere else makes no sense at all, which is what I keep hearing some Yankee fans want.

There's not a chance in hell he's better than Mussina, even when he's healthy. But that's the big reason I want to be rid of him. He's a jackass and he's always hurt. If he could stay healthy AND on top of his game, I'd put up with his personality, but it's not worth the trouble. Of course, if there's no better option, I'd vote for him to stay.
