Enrique Rojas is reporting that Tejada is unaware of any rumors of him being traded.
Maybe baseball players are the most insulated people on earth. But I doubt it. Unless SFX (Tejada's representation) are flat-out not talking to him, or doing what I do sometimes in not passing on troublesome information so as not to upset The Wife, Tejada has to know his name is being floated.
Or a guaranteed $13 million puts you in a position where you literally have no care in the world. I wouldn't. I'd do my job letting people throw footballs at the back of my head for $13 million.
We didn't come out here to play tiddlywinks, son.
