[Leitch]

Coundown to wailing and gnashing of teeth.....

[sorrycharlie]

Did they give him an extention?

[Pedro Cerrano]

Let the mass suicides begin....

Only if he extends with Atlanta. Our whole reason for not trading for him now was because we figured he would not sign an extension.

Whoopity doo.

If they traded 4 players, I bet they expect to ink him. I'm ill.

According to Kenny Rosenthal:

The Rangers will receive catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Class A shortstop Elvis Andrus and two pitching prospects.

Good for Texas, IMO.

Wow. So, Texas doesn't get a top line pitcher in the deal. I find that surprising. I guess they are really expecting guys like Hurley to be ready soon.

Well thats that. Time to move on. Hopefully he does not sign an extension with them although it does seem like that is a good fit for him.

[Hank Scorpio]

Someone call Dip and JTrea and make sure they haven't fallen down dead.

Atlanta is the worst possible destination for Teixeira and his pursuit of being a Baltimore Oriole. His wife is from there and he played his college ball there. It'll be home team vs. college town.

Of course, we know what "wife's home town" meant to A.J. Burnett, so we'll see.
