Two pitchers also? And only Teixiera & no Mahay or CJ Wilson? This is giving up a little too much IMO if we can't get a pitcher along with Teixiera. We need a lefty out of the bullpen in a bad way really. I'm just worried that we may be giving up too much just for Teixiera.

If we can have a long term contract extension for Tex then this would make things better because we have no player in the minors capable of filling his void if he's not guaranteed to stay past the rest of this year. We need to do what Houston did with Wiggington & sign him to a contract extension. They locked him up for 3 years after he came over in the trade. We need something like that with Tex if the deal is really wrapped up. Thanks!
