Miguel Tejada is a shortstop for the Houston Astros. He was traded from the Baltimore Orioles to Houston in December 2007 in exchange for five players.
Tejada was named the Most Valuable Player in the American League in 2002, when he was a member of the Oakland Athletics, and following the 2003 season, he signed a six-year, $72 million deal with the Orioles.
In his first season in Baltimore, Tejada batted .311 with a team-best 34 home runs, and he set an Orioles record with 150 RBI, which led the majors. Tejada finished fifth in the AL MVP voting that year.
A four-time All-Star, Tejada played in 1,152 consecutive games, the fifth-longest streak in Major League history, before a broken wrist knocked him out of the Baltimore lineup on June 22, 2007.
Tejada has been linked to steroid use during his career, and he was named in the Mitchell Report in December 2007 just days after he was traded to Houston. Tejada has denied using performance-enhancing drugs, but Congress has asked the Justice Department to investigate whether Tejada lied to a House committee in 2005 when he was interviewed in connection with the Rafael Palmeiro steroids case.
Tejada was born in Bani, Dominican Republic on May 25, 1976. He was signed by Hall of Fame pitcher and Oakland Athletics scout Juan Marichal in 1993, when he was just 17. Tejada made his Major League debut in 1997 with the A's.

  3. O's positioned to be buyers in free agency

    With a down economy, multiple teams crying poor and little money invested in future payrolls, the Orioles are perhaps in a better financial position this offseason than they have been in more than a decade.

  7. Orioles decline Mora's 2010 option

    The Orioles announced Thursday that they won't exercise third baseman Melvin Mora's $8 million contract option for the 2010 season, an expected move that will likely end the tenure of one of their most productive and popular players over the last decade.

    Special to the Tribune
    MESA, Ariz. -- Close your eyes, Cubs fans, and dream of a young Alfonso Soriano. Not the current model, with the balky knee and untradable contract. Dream of the Soriano of a decade ago, the lithe, speedy infielder. Now open your eyes and look west to...

  15. Rise of young O's builds hope

    The Orioles needed a last-week winning streak to avoid the third 100-loss campaign in team history, their first since 1988. They were assured of a 12th straight losing season 3 1/2 weeks ago, even before the club dropped 13 straight September games, the longest losing streak in the major leagues in 2009 and the third longest in team history.

  19. Orioles come back to beat Rays

    His every move is no longer scrutinized as it was 3 1/2 months ago when Orioles catcher Matt Wieters made his much-anticipated big league debut before a packed house and enormous expectations. But there remains plenty of attention on Wieters, and there are a slew of questions that his rookie season has left unanswered.
