Mark Teixeira Traded to Los Angeles Angels for Casey Kotchman; Red Sox Weep
29 Jul
I believe the power in the American League has just shifted folks. As the Red Sox and Yankees try to figure out their various situations, the Los Angeles Angels just added the biggest bat of the season: Mark Teixeira for Casey Kotchman… in what really is a huge steal.
Angels fans can thank their lucky stars that:
1. Manny Ramirez didn’t begin acting loco a week earlier (prompting the Red Sox to get involved)
2. That all of the Braves simultaneously got injured this past week
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.
