It is no secret the Orioles are willing to entertain offers for Miguel Tejada, who has said repeatedly that he has no interest in moving from shortstop to third base with his current team. However, at this point, the Orioles are forced into a waiting game while other teams consider runs at Rodriguez, Boston Red Sox free agent Mike Lowell or even Florida Marlins star third baseman Miguel Cabrera, who might be available in a trade. "I don't think that [Tejada] is on the front burner for a lot of clubs," one American League general manager said Tuesday. Among the potential suitors - teams that have holes on the left side of their infield - most appear to be focused in a different direction from Tejada. The Chicago White Sox haven't decided whether they will exercise shortstop Juan Uribe's option, and third baseman Joe Crede is coming off back surgery and is reportedly a target of the New York Yankees to replace Rodriguez. The Philadelphia Phillies, who got little offensive production from third base in 2007, are focused on pitching and probably couldn't absorb the $26 million over two years left on Tejada's contract. The Chicago Cubs say they are content with shortstop Ryan Theriot, and uncertainty about their ownership situation makes them unlikely candidates to add Tejada's salary. The Los Angeles Angels nearly acquired Tejada during the 2006 season, but Orioles owner Peter Angelos nixed a deal that would have brought young pitcher Ervin Santana and infielder Erick Aybar. According to one source, the Angels, who remain in need of a bat to protect Vladimir Guerrero, haven't expressed much interest in Tejada since. Asked whether he has heard a lot of speculation about a potential Tejada trade, one American League GM said: "No, not much at all."
