In return for the four-time All-Star, the Orioles will get outfielder Luke Scott, pitchers Matt Albers, Troy Patton and Dennis Sarfate, and third baseman Michael Costanzo.

March 16, 2009
Over the last few years the idea of Miguel Tejada moving from shortstop to third base has come up on quite a number of different occasions. As Tejada gets older teams fear that the 34-year old -- who turns 35 in May -- Tejada will start to lose some of his range at short, and would be better off at third where it's more about reaction time than range...Continue reading at FanHouse
