Braves near deal for Teixeira as cleanup hitter
The Braves agreed to trade Jarrod Saltalamacchia Elvis Andrus and two minor leaguers to Texas for Mark Teixeira and Ron Mahay. Teixeira would be the team's new cleanup man joining McCann Francoeur and Jones as the lineup aims to boost a slump plagued offense. He is a switch hitter with power and strong defense, familiar to Atlanta from Georgia Tech days, and could reshape the NL East and wild card race as Atlanta pursues a return to the postseason.
