The Braves are shopping star first baseman Mark Teixeira, and executives with other teams tell SI.com they believe Atlanta will deal Teixeira somewhere -- perhaps Arizona -- by Thursday's trade deadline. The Diamondbacks are one of a few teams showing interest in Teixeira, and people familiar with those talks say the sides are discussing a potential deal that would send young first baseman/third baseman Chad Tracy in a package to Atlanta for Teixeira. An executive with another interested team says he believes the Braves appear "locked in on Arizona'' at the moment. The Angels, Dodgers, Rays and Red Sox are among other potential players for Teixeira -- though an Angels person characterized a deal with them as "unlikely."

Sell now and maybe you can still make a run if you can get some pitching back. The Braves are done for this year. Get what you can, because the chances are it will be more than the picks.

He really aint that good of a player, but he would fit in with the right team that wants a person of his type.

I think they'll move him. They showed no life at all last night against STL, and with Chipper going on the DL, I think the Braves are now clearly sellers

I think he'd be a good fit for the Dodgers. They have the prospects and certainly need some pop in their lineup. Not to mention the division is far beyond sad so they have a good shot at winning. They need someone to counter Webb/Haren!

Just trade the guy already. The Braves need to position themselves for a run next year.
