Teixeira to the Bronx: When, Not If?

FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal is reporting that the Texas Rangers have been scouting Yankee prospects in expectation that the Bombers will make a run at acquiring first baseman Mark Teixeira. The Rangers are reportedly seeking rookie pitcher Phil Hughes in return. The Yanks consider Hughes "untouchable" and the Rangers are dreaming if they think he can be had for Teixeira alone. However the conversation starts to get a lot more interesting for both teams when you begin to toss in names like Eric Gagne and Akinori Otsuka. According to Rosenthal, the Yanks have been scouting both players.
