Mark Teixeira is an Angel

angels must feel confident they can resign him long term in order to give up kotchman.

they said they would not trade for a rental and even without texeira they were world series worthy so they must have a plan to get him inked for a while.

"The Angels didn't ask for a window to negotiate an extension with Teixeira. But they're expected to make a massive effort to sign him to a long-term deal, now that they've traded their everyday first baseman and a player they were especially fond of in Kotchman. But Teixeira is a Scott Boras client. And early rumblings are that his initial asking price will be in the neighborhood of 10 years, $230 million. " -- espn.com

10 years and 23 million for Texeira ? baseball salaries are NUTS
