It appears that Tex is done. Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the deal to move Teixeira out of town is done. The word is that Tex will be going with Ron Mahay for C/1B Jarrod Saltamacchia, Class A shortop Elvis Andrews, and two unnamed pitching prospects.
I see the Ticket howling already about not getting major league pitching. More details as they come out.
The Braves are on the verge of acquiring Rangers first baseman Mark Teixeira.
The deal is done, pending a review of the medical records of the players involved, according to major-league sources.
The Braves will receive Teixeira and left-handed reliever Ron Mahay.
The Rangers will receive catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia, Class A shortstop Elvis Andrus and two pitching prospects.
UPDATE #1: One of the minor league pitchers is Netfali Feliz. There’s more info about him here and here.
