Orioles News - 11/7/07 - Tejada To New York, Others?

Miggi to New York? That's a maybe. The New York Yankees have shown interest in Baltimore Oriole Miguel Tejada. But, isn't Tejada a Shortstop? Don't the Yankees have Derek Jeter at Shortstop? Yes and yes. But, will Tejada play 3rd base? Apparently Tejada will play 3rd base, just not for the Orioles. With A-Rod opting out of his contract, (if the Yankees don't resign him), they would be willing to take Tejada at 3rd base. So Tejada won't play 3rd base for the Orioles, but he will play 3rd base for a winning team. Wonderful. Just wonderful. But, there are other teams with a little interest in Miggi. Miggi appears to be a back up option if other teams can't sign free agent 3rd basemen such as A-Rod, Mike Lowell and Miguel Cabrera, who is on the trade block. Hopefully the O's can get someone of value for Miguel Tejada... - John T.
