Texeria to halos

[herpes]

for Casey Kotchman and a PTBNL

[OG Hack Wilson]

the pitcher has been named son

[Javier]

It's only a good trade if Mark has already agreed to sign long term with the Angels. 

[Javier]

The Angels didn't ask for a window to negotiate an extension with Teixeira. But it's expected that they'll make a massive effort to sign him to a long-term deal, after trading away their every-day first baseman, and a player they were especially fond of, in Kotchman. Teixeira is a Scott Boras client, however. And early rumblings are that his initial asking price will be in the neighborhood of 10 years, $230 million.

Jayson Stark is a fucking moron.

nobody is paying Tex 230 million unless he wins the powerball

[Tay]

That price will drop once they realize that nobody is going to pay him that much money, and he will probably stay in Anaheim. I like the agressiveness by the Angels, they saw a way to improve their team so they went out and did it. They are definitely a force this year, but we'll see how it plays out in October.

big move for those boys. they had the AL west locked IMO...but now it makes them more legitimate title contenders (more than they already were).

[I Am The Anton]

The braves could have got more for him, but whatever, i'm pleased with the trade overall (considering we had no chance to re-sign teix). Now i'm just hoping this miserable season ends soon.

huge move!
Giants should have went after him..we have TONS of young pitching we could have given up

[Chamillitary Click]

For a two month rental?  Insane doggy

[S P I C E]

^^Yeah thats what I was thinking,  its good The Giants are staying away from trades like this,  We are obviously winning nothing this year so we need to prepare for the future, a trade like this for the Giants which would be a expensive rental that would be a complete waste, solid pickup for Angels but they gave up a really good young player.
