After losing three in a row the Braves have officially placed Mark Teixeira on the block. I know, shocking news. The Diamondbacks seem to be at the head of the field which includes the Rays, Red Sox and Angels. GM Frank Wren told the AJC that there are deals on the table but the Braves are looking to see if they can get something better. Originally, Atanta was hoping to get Conor Jackson out of a trade with Arizona, but the D'Backs are not willing to part with him instead offering 3B/1B Chad Tracy.
The Braves could also move reliever Will Ohman. According to espn.com, the Tigers, Rays, Yankees and Cardinals have all inquired about his availability. In addition to Ohman I've read that Mark Kotsay, Kelly Johnson and even Jeff Francoeur could be made available. Fire sale, anyone?
According to mlb.com, the Braves were thisclose to bringing in Pirates outfielder Jason Bay on Friday. In the deal that was nixed by Pittsburgh ownership, the Braves would have sent four prospects, likely including Brent Lillibridge and Brandon Jones to Pittsburgh for Bay.
It's been fun blogging with you,
