Robinson Tejeda was designated for assignment to make room for Kason Gabbard on the 25 man roster. I'd be surprised if Tejeda is claimed, and since he has been outrighted before, he has the right to become a free agent if he clears waivers this time. If the Rangers weren't going to give him any more time than this, then I'm not sure why they bothered calling him up when they did, a few weeks ago....

The Mets may have taken a very close look at the the Texas reliever who shut them out for the final two innings of last nights game. Robinson Tejeda is a 26 y/o right hander who has a 9.00 ERA but that number is deceiving since it's come in only four relief appearances in which he's allowed six runs ( 3 runs in two outings). Tejeda can be used as both a starter and reliever, right handed hitters are...

Evan Grant / Dallas Morning News : Days may be numbered for Texas Rangers' Tejeda — egrant@dallasnews.com — NEW YORK - The Texas Rangers are likely to expose Robinson Tejeda to the waiver wire for the second time this season today. That is, if they don't have to put Joaquin Benoit on the disabled list first.

The Texas Rangers are expected to place Robinson Tejeda on waivers today, reports Evan Grant in the Dallas Morning News. It would be Tejeda's second trip through waiver wires this year. He cleared waivers at the end of spring training, and if he does so again, he can refuse an assignment to Triple-A Oklahoma and file for free agency. The move is contingent on the Rangers not having to place Joaquin...

The DMN Rangers blog reports that Kason Gabbard has been optioned to AAA and Robinson Tejeda is returning to Texas. No word yet on if he's in the bullpen or taking Gabbard's rotation slot. Dustin Nippert has been activated from the disabled list, cleared waivers, and has been outrighted to Oklahoma. This means we now have 39 players on the 40 man roster (since Tejeda has been added), although Thomas...

We discussed 26 year-old starter Robinson Tejeda here. Imagine Carlos Silva with poor control and mid-90s heat (hmm, doesn't sound too much like Silva actually). Anyway, the Rangers designated Tejeda for assignment last week and have until Wednesday to trade him. Jon Daniels doesn't expect a deal, meaning Tejeda may simply be plucked off waivers. He's a project, so he might make more sense for a rebuilding...

According to the Star-Telegram, Rangers RHP Robinson Tejeda, who was designated for assignment before the season started, is still available in a trade, “although there’s been little interest in him.” Last week in Newsday, David Lennon wrote that the Mets have interest in Tejeda. However, the same at ESPN.com, Jayson Stark wrote that the team had no interest [...]

On Newsday, Ken Davidoff floats the idea of the Mets taking a look at recently DFA’d Rangers starter Robinson Tejeda. Tejada reaches 95 mph with his fastball and was compared to Carlos Silva “in build and repertoire” by Baseball America. The Mets had some interest in Davidson in the past, who is 26 years old and [...]
