That has been on Rumor Central on ESPN.com all day. They said the Tigers and Astros couldn't back away fast enough from the deal. The Tigers want Pence, Nieve and AE while the deal with the Tigers started with Verlander or Bonderman. I think the reason the Astros, if they did indeed run from this, did so because they think Pence could be better served being spent on someone else. I don't know... I still really believe A-Rod gets traded here. I know this is a thread about Tejada but I still have this wierd feeling that we backed off Tejada because another, better shortstop is becoming available.
