Do you think the Braves will trade Mark Texiera by the trade deadline?

Question

I don't think they will though because they are only 6 games back.

Answer 1

If they feel the season is worth nothing they will deal him.

Answer 2

i don't think they will, because i don't think they feel they can get equal return value for him...he's such a presence in that lineup, and the way the rest of the team sets up i think they feel they can make a little bit of a run, so i think they're going to take their chances on him

Answer 3

I actually think the Yankees should've picked him up because if he was in NY,the Yankees could've moved Giambi to DH and Teixeira to 1st. I mean the whole point of the trade deadline is to pursue offense,and signing Richie Sexson is not the best example of a team pursuing offense.Since it doesn't seem like many other teams are interested in him,then yes I'm 76% positive the Braves will re-sign Mark Teixeira.Plus he's a huge fan favorite there in Atlanta.

Answer 4

It will depend on how far they fall back close to the deadline. I doubt a week will make a difference, but right now they're in it. If they trade for another pitcher, they will contend. And I'm sure the Braves will use the draft picks smartly like always.

Answer 5

If they get within 3-5 games out of first place, they won't trade him, if they lose ground, they will trade him, and as the weather gets hotter, Mark starts to get hot.
