Mark Teixeira was traded by the Atlanta Braves today to the Anaheim Angels (screw that new name they have) for Casey Kotchman & AA reliever Stephen Marek.
Kotchman is pretty decent, and I don’t know anything about Marek, but you wonder how the draft picks they’d get might work out. I’m sure it’s a case of “gotta get something”.
The fact that Teixeira is an Angel is mildly amusing given that his agent is considered by a lot of people to be Satan.
Anyone think he’ll stay there? I don’t.
