The Arizona Diamondbacks are said to be among the teams interested in trading for Mark Teixeira, joining the Braves and Angels. The Diamondbacks have won eight consecutive games and have moved into a first-place tie in the National League West -- and their last victory came thanks to a walk-off hit by 25-year-old first baseman Conor Jackson, who could be offered to the Rangers.
Arizona needs offense -- the Diamondbacks entered Saturday hitting .249 as a team -- and has a surplus of young pitching.
