Bell's turn to shine is now after Tejada trade.

The Baltimore Orioles dealt away third baseman Miguel Tejada on thursday for pitching prospect Wynn Pelzer. This move makes way for Josh Bell to be the every day third baseman while also showing the club what he has to offer for the future. Bell is 5 for 19 in 6 games with the O's this year playing sparingly when players needed a day off. 


Losing Tejada you lose a player who loves the game and also provides a great passion on and off the field. He is also a great club house guy that can motivate the players around him. Tejada has a chance to go to a club that is in a playoff race and will give him a great chance to win. Though Tejada had this to say "an honor to go to play where they want me. But I'm sad because I've loved being here. I've been here a long time and it's like my home. I love being here with these guys. I'm sad but I know this game is a business." 


As a Oriole fan and a fan of the game I wish him and his family the best. Good luck Miguel!
