Waiver Wire

No word on Mark Teixeira being dealt. The Rangers and masterfully playing this one right. They currently are dangling him like a carrot in front of the Braves, Dodgers, and Angels. I would highly doubt the boys would trade him to the divisional rival of the Angels. It wouldn't make sense for them to trade such a powerful bat to someone they would see twenty plus times a year. But they talk with them to bring up value with the Dodgers who are neck and neck with the Braves and split the market with the Angels in LA. This should turn out to be a beautiful trade for the Rangers in the end. Hopefully, the Rangers will continue to keep the strength of the bullpen intact. Johnny Out.
