The Baltimore Orioles have agreed to Mark Teixeira, Brett Cecil, and Dexter Fowler to Milwaukee in exchange for Clayton Kershaw and Carlos Quentin.
The Orioles recieved a top quality young starter and a former All Star in Quentin thereby solidifying their OF and SP for the future. Also, the team was able to lower their total salary by close to $10m, making them a player in the FA market once again. Milwaukee on the other hand recieved All Star Teixiera, a slugging machine, an enigma in Cecil who no one seems to have an idea what he will do in the end, as well as a possible Carl Crawford type in Fowler.

Toronto applauds this deal. First Baltimore deals away Chase Utley and now Mark Teixiera. With rumors that Santana may be moved so quickly after being obtained, Toronto fans see first place getting closer by the day.
