Miguel Tejada trade scenerio

Orioles send Tejada and cash to the the Cubs for Sean Gallagher, Jim Henderson, Eric Patterson, and Ronny Cedeno.

 

Sure, wed giving up quite a bit, but its definitely worth it. This may be our only chance to land a major impact player this offseason with the ownership situation in limbo, and Jim not likely to be able to land and free agents.

Pretty obscure reach. I wouldn't make that trade unless the O's threw in someone else to make it worth while.

That seems pretty steep for a shortstop on the wrong side of 30.

Swap Marshall for Gallagher and I might bite.

depending on what we can do in the outfield , I would do that move. I don't think Cedeno and Patterson are going to play big roles with the Cubs the next few years. The only one you hate to lose in that deal is Gallegher but if Tejeda can return to being a 30 homer threat while hitting in the cubs lineup and getting out Baltimore should help.

I'll take Tejada if he promises to go on PED's and get back to the form he was 3 years ago. Otherwise, NO.

That website hasn't had news for over a month now. Where did you see this rumor?

4 Cubs farm hands for the price of one, I could see the Orioles jumping all over this.

Made it up?

This "rumor" isn't in either the blog or the "Rumors" section, so where's it from, the forum?

 

Less than reliable, indeed.

[CoolHandLuke]

Theres no way that a crappy rumors site would have enough knowledge of negotiations to know that a guy like jim henderson might be included in a trade.

How about providing a link? The only trade rumor for Tejada that site has was back on Aug. 6, and there was no mention of the Cubs.

I doubt its a rumor, probably just an idea.

Under the rtoworld pat, theres a little partith random news/rumor tidbits flashing. Clickon any one, and it will take you to the page. Itmy have been one writers seculation, but I couldnt tell. Heres the segment cut and pasted.

 

Former Cubs General Manager and President took the job of President of Baseball Operations with the Orioles and since then, has acquired three Cubs in Scott Moore, Rocky Cherry, and Roberto Novoa. There are also many former Cubs on the team which will probably be retained, especially Corey Patterson. There is a good side of this and definitely a bad side at the moment. The good side is that the Cubs could look to acquire someone like Miguel Tejada for several minor leaguers and major league ready players. I could see a trade looking like this: Miguel Tejada and cash to the Cubs for Sean Gallagher, Jim Henderson, Eric Patterson, and, Ronny Cedeno. That is a rough trade for now because I do not know how the Cubs rate some of their players, but they do not think much of Eric Patterson right now after he was late to several games and practices, and was not very effective at the major league level. But trading for Tejada would move Theriot to second base, DeRosa to right field, and Jones platooning with Pie in center field. I think it helps both teams but who knows if the Cubs want to unload some of their system to acquire Tejada, who has just two more years on his contract. But, he is aging and may be forced to switch positions, so the Cubs might be hesitant. The bad side, if the Cubs cannot reach a deal with Kerry Wood, he might walk and go to Baltimore and be with MacPhail, who drafted and signed him. I think the Cubs and Wood feel the same way about returning next season, but who knows? Also, if the Cubs non-tender Prior, MacPhail could look to add him too. They plan to sign former Iowa Cub pitching coach Rich Kranitz, so this all seems relatively possible because both Prior and Wood worked with Kranitz and one point in the past couple seasons. MacPhail will look to upgrade anyway he can, and he might start with unloading the disgruntled Tejada, who was almost traded to the Cubs in 2005.
