http://msn.foxsports.com/mlb/story/7532262</p> </p> <div>The Astros have had significant discussions with the Orioles about shortstop Miguel Tejada, but the two sides are not close to a deal, according to major-league sources.</div> </p> The Astros apparently believed a trade was possible Wednesday night, telling at least two other clubs that they were on the verge of a major deal. It is not clear whether their focus was Tejada.</p> Astros officials said Thursday morning that nothing was imminent, suggesting perhaps that the talks had faded. Other sources also indicated that the discussions were not in an advanced phase</p> </p> </p> </p> If it happens Houston's looking alright for next year.</p>
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE (Brian)</div><div class='quotemain'></p> Didn't Tejada take steriods or something? I'm just wondering</p> </div></p> Rafael Palmero claimed that he was given steroids by Miggy, but it's never been confirmed.</p> And an aging SS is not what Houston needs right now. They should be getting younger, not the opposite.</p> </p>

Two of the most meddlesome, counterproductive owners in the business.</p> </p>
Burke? He's been around for a while and hasn'tdone anything. Tejada's trade value isn't very high because of his subpar performance lately, and he would only be hitting 6th (at best) if he joined the Astros.</p>
