What will the Braves do with Mark Teixeira?

Question

Since the Braves aren't gaining any ground in the NL East, they will probably trade Teixeira...What do you all think the Braves will get?

Answer 1

I think the Braves' should hold on to Tex, i mean correct me if wrong but isnt the guy only 26/27.  I love Chipper but i say deal him while he's hot, because hes not getting any younger.

Answer 2

they should trade him and get some prospects for him.

the braves arent going anywhere this year and he wont be resigning there.

Answer 3

i think the braves really need to look for top level prospects and maybe some bullpen help in a trade for teixeira...they have a lot of younger guys who are starting to come into their own and who they may not be able to keep in the future, so some prospects will take care of the problem for the future...also, their bullpen is pretty much a mess right now and they will definitely want some help there

Answer 4

It's an interesting question. I am a lifelong Braves fan, and I have obviously been very disappointed watching this season. We have been very unlucky, but I guess that happens sometimes. The current road trip for the Braves decides everything. Tonight, we played well. Sunday was a nightmare. It depends on which team takes the field for the rest of this all-important road trip vs. the Marlins and the Phillies, the Braves that played on Sunday, or the Braves that played today. If we cane get a 5 - 1 road trip, we are right back in it, and so we will hold on to Tex in all likelihood. We are right on the verge, and apparently the demand for him has not been very high. The reports I'm reading say that right now the Braves would just be better off taking the two draft picks in compensation. Demand will obviously increase closer to the trade deadline. This road trip decides everything though. We started well. If we can keep that up, then I think Tex will stay, and we can still make a run. These next 5 games are do or die time.
