I would be a little surprised if the Teixiera deal gets done soon. Texas is in no hurry, and according to Ken Rosenthal, is asking for Phil Hughes to be included in the deal. They may wait it out, and see if the Yankees include him, or see if they can cut another deal elsewhere. If not, they may wait close to the deadline.
It has a better chance of happening than the Helton deal. Even still, the Yankees won't give up Hughes; there are plenty of good prospects in their system if they really want Teixiera. Texas can sweat out as many offers as they want. If we can't dump Giambi, its pretty meaningless anyways, because he's an albatross, but if Texas has such a ridiculous asking price, he'll be a free agent in 2008, and has expressed interest in playing for the Yankees/Mattingly.
