Yeah, apparently they want them to throw in Johnny Damon as well.

Well, of course - they have read all the reports here on how he will take over at SS for them.

Why trade one disgruntled player (Tejada) for another, perpetually disgruntled player (Ramirez).  It looks like Ramirez quickly develops into a serious clubhouse cancer.  The Yankees may be the only home for him.

I think if it wasn't within the division, Baltimore probably would have done that deal. Everything I've read indicates that the fact they are division rivals is the main reason Tejada hasn't been signed, sealed, and delivered to Boston already.
