Angels Acquire Mark Teixeira; Red Sox and Yankees Weep
The balance of power in baseball has just shifted folks.
And, as a Red Sox fan, I am ashamed and saddened.
Sources close to the situation told ESPN.com's Jayson Stark on Tuesday that Atlanta Braves first baseman Mark Teixeira is headed to the Los Angeles Angels for Casey Kotchman and minor league pitcher Steven Marek.
Breaking News: Teixeira to Angels Official
ESPN's Keith Law is reporting that the Angels have acquired 1b Mark Teixeira from the Atlanta Braves in exchange for Casey Kotchman and Steven Marek.
Sweep at Fenway!
If it seems like I've been writing an Angels beat the Red Sox post every day for the past two weeks, you're not that far off.
The Angels finished off a sweep at Fenway on Wednesday, their second sweep of the Red Sox in the last fortnight. That's eight straight wins over Boston, a 180-degree turnaround [...]

The double-coup the Angels pulled on Tuesday was easily one of the peaks of the baseball season. First, things got exciting when reports in the morning said the Angels were warming to the idea of acquiring Mark Teixeira from the Braves.

Sellers!
My esteemed B&C colleague Mr. Quinones beat me to the punch with his Teixeira trade take, but I wanted to chime in on this deal from the Braves' perspective. Rest assured that the view, much like the weather, is surely sunnier in the Southern California area right now.
For Braves' fans, the Teixeira dump marks an [...]
What a day!
About an hour before game time, it was announced that the Angels had traded for Mark Teixeira, finally acquiring that big bat that was missing to complete a good offense.
It only got better from there.
John Lackey was two outs away from throwing a no-hitter, and the Angels won their seventh-straight game against the Red Sox, [...]
Manny Out, Tex In
Dropping into the Yard to weigh in on two of the big trades this week - Manny to Dodgers and Tex to the Halos. No real way to replace Manny, he's one of the best hitters in the game. I'm definitely glad he's out of the AL, the guy owned me. Glad to see him go, will not miss facing him. I could be throwing my best stuff and he will square up on it. The guy is amazing. I guess it...

The Angels trade for Mark Teixeira yesterday was for the most part unilaterally approved. And why wouldn't it be?

He immediately gives them punch in the middle of their lineup that they've needed ever since Troy Glaus left his HGH driven prime. And all they had...

TEIXEIRA
So it says here our boys have traded Casey Kotchman and Stephen Marek for Mark Teixeira.I am both sad and hopeful about this. Sad because I really like Casey and think he's going to be a productive hitter over the rest of his career (I'm betting on his June and most of July this year being an aberration), hopeful because Teixeira is an improvement and Marek isn't a huge...
Meet Dustin Pedroia - Professional Party Pooper
John Lakcey and his 7.00+ ERA walked into Fenway Park and nearly no-hot the Red Sox last night... the party pooper? Dustin Pedroia, with one out in the 9th.
