Tejada traded to the Astros

FOX Sports on MSN - MLB - Orioles trade Tejada to Astros

Miguel Tejada got his wish ? albeit a couple of years later than he wanted.

Tejada was traded from the Baltimore Orioles to the Houston Astros for five players on Wednesday, giving the former AL MVP a fresh start on a team looking to boost its lineup.

The Orioles got outfielder Luke Scott, pitchers Matt Albers, Troy Patton and Dennis Sarfate, and third baseman Michael Costanzo, Baltimore president of baseball operations Andy MacPhail said.
The deal was first reported by FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. Two winters ago, Tejada caused a stir in Baltimore when he said was unhappy with the Orioles' direction and wanted to be traded. He later backed off that stance.

Did anyone else see ESPN "surprise" Miguel Tejada with his Dominican birth certificate on sportcenter? Maybe its just me, but I'm getting tired of "investigative" sports journalism.

If you didn't see it, and I don't know why this is bothering me so much, but some ESPN douche brings Tejada in for an interview and then springs the birth certificate on him during the interview like he was friggin' Mike Wallace. Tejada, obviously surprised, leaves the interview.

I just hate how enititled sports journalists are these days, especially on ESPN. Just give me the scores and maybe some practice update, please.

Who gives a crap if Miguel Tejada is 2 years older than he said he was almost 15 years ago?

Ok, sorry, Im done.

Agree. He's only on contract until the end of 09 so it's a non issue. If he had just signed a long term contract, it MIGHT be a story.
