Astros, Orioles, Were Never Close To Tejada Deal
The Houston Chronicle's Richard Justice says that while the Astros and Orioles had intense discussions about Miguel Tejada, the two sides were "never, never, never" close to a deal. It's clear that Chris Burke, Adam Everett, and a prospect wouldn't get it done.
Jeff Zrebiec of the Baltimore Sun said today that the Orioles believe the Astros have the young talent needed to make a Tejada deal. Zrebiec notes that a package based on Everett and Luke Scott wouldn't cut it, either. Andy MacPhail also discussed Tejada with the Cardinals, Giants, and Angels this week. The Angels haven't aggressively pursued him, and Andrew Baggarly said today the Giants are no longer interested.

Yeah, Burke/Everett/prosp. for Tejada sounded too good to be true. Mental midgets on the Astros.com message board say they wouldn't trade Everett straight up for Tejada.
ROFLMAO

To be honest I've been laughing at the concept of Burke and Everett for Tejada.
More to the fact that so many people in Houston were taking it seriously.
Unless that unnamed pitcher was Oswalt, you'd have to pay people to take Everett and Burke off your hands.
