I agree that the Astros have to make that deal provided two things:


1) It is as advertised and doesn't included anyone else;
2) Tejada agrees to serve out his contract and not demand a trade

Fair enough. As I stated -- if true as reported.

On point #2, we can certainly agree. This trade would actually be a little dangerous without #2 in that we'd have lost 3 shortstops by the end of the season (Everett, Tejada, and Zobrist).
