KFDM COOP Posted July 21, 2006 Report Posted July 21, 2006 Miguel Tejada to Houston? Miggy possibly on the move? Jul 20 - Though Astros GM Tim Purpura didn't come out and say it, indications are that Houston is interested in acquiring Tejada. "One, I'd like this club to perform more consistently," Purpura said in a report in the Houston Chronicle. "That's our No. 1 objective, to get this club producing and winning together. From there, obviously you have to look at what opportunities come up, what makes sense, and how do you improve your ballclub. It's believed the Orioles are looking for three players, including ones with major league experience. Orioles owner Peter Angelos has little interest in trading his All-Star shortstop, according to a report in the Los Angeles Times. He told the Baltimore Sun he would have to be blown away by an offer. An executive told the Sun that the Orioles would want a top-of-the-rotation starter and high-level prospects for Tejada. The Angels apparently made a run at Tejada in June and hoped to move him to third base. But the Orioles reportedly wanted right-hander Ervin Santana, second baseman Howie Kendrick and reliever Scot Shields in return. __________________
Champion Posted July 24, 2006 Report Posted July 24, 2006 Chicago Tribune "The Cubs would love Tejada, of course, but it's doubtful they can come up with a counteroffer that will deter the Baltimore Orioles from making a move that could have long-term implications in the National League Central--trading Tejada to the Houston Astros for a package built around shortstop Adam Everett and some very good prospects--right-handers Fernando Nieve, Jason Hirsh and outfielder Hunter Pence." I hope this false we are giving up way too much!
