One of many trade rumors making the rounds at the All-Star Game had the Braves among a handful of teams still interested in Rangers first baseman Mark Teixeira, the former Georgia Tech standout who is eligible for free agency after the 2008 season.
Two potential sticking points: The Rangers would probably accept nothing less than top Braves prospect Jarrod Saltalamacchia and another young player, and Teixeira is represented by agent Scott Boras and expected to ask for a long-term contract worth perhaps $20 million per season.
