Is there a realistic chance that Texiera will sign with the Braves long term? What are people hearing or seeing on this topic? I just don't see how he stays beyond this year. I guess some older players (Smoltz, Glavine, Jones) have to retire sometime, but where will the money come from? I wouldn't even trust Boras if he were standing right in front of me, so I don't have a lot of confidence in him being locked up before becoming a free agent. If he does become a free agent, I just don't think we can compete with the money that will be thrown his way
