Party time in the Bronx.

I totally thought that Teix would be going down to D.C. or Boston either late today or tomorrow. Anyhow, according to a few sources, he's got a full no-trade clause and he can't opt out. Joel Sherman reports that the Yankees may now try to trade off one of either Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui, Xavier Nady, and Nick Swisher. I guess the bright side of this is that the Yankees are gonna be under $200 mil per season for payroll.

Don't worry, Selig just handed Hal a tax bill for $26.9 million.

Word going around is that your Mets are in deep talks with Lowe. Here's for a late birthday gift, my Hat City brother.
