11/08: Source: Yankees Interested in Tejada
Posted by: Patrick
From the Baltimore Sun:
Tejada hit .296/.357/.442 last year with 18 home runs and 81 RBIs last season. He has not played a game at third base in his entire career. It was his worst full season since 1999, but he's not that old - he'll be 31 on opening day. It could be a decent time to get him on a value basis as you would think he could bounce back at this stage of his career. He is signed through 2009 with each of the two remaining years paying him $13 million.
It's intriguing, but it all depends on his willingness and ability to switch spots and what we'd have to give up to get him.

Though it's much too early to fit Miguel Tejada for pinstripes, it's not entirely out of the question. Seeking a potential replacement for free agent third baseman Alex Rodriguez, the New York Yankees have some interest in the Orioles' star infielder, according to an industry source. ...
The Orioles are primarily looking for talented position-player prospects who are close to major league ready. The Yankees are thin in that area but have a wealth of young pitching. MacPhail said the Orioles are in no position to discriminate.
