Here’s a little update on some of the rumors flying around on where, and if, Mark Teixeira might land before the trade deadline.

• The L.A. Angels have increased their interest as of late.
  

  Though a deal for the Atlanta switch-hitter would probably cost them promising first baseman Casey Kotchman, the Angels believe Teixeira and Vladimir Guerrero would give them a three-four punch comparable to Boston’s David Ortiz and Manny Ramirez.

• The Arizona Diamondbacks may not be willing to send Conor Jackson any longer. But they may send Chad Tracy and, maybe even uber-pitching prospect Max Scherzer.
  

  ‘Zona’s surplus of pitching prospects means they can offer up Max Scherzer (top pitching prospect in the org) and Wes Roemer (87/28 K/BB in High-A) for the opportunity to romp into the playoffs over middling NL West competition.
