By Rev Halofan Angels Vs. Rays - 4:08 PM: John Lackey @ Jeff Niemann Randal Grichuk and Tyler Skaggs were drafted by the Angels as compensation from the Mets for Francisco Rodriguez Mike Trout and Garett Richards were drafted by the Angels as compensation from the Yankees for Mark Teixeira.

The trade went well, but the Angels once again couldn’t beat the Red Sox in October, and are now left to pick up the pieces. Casey Kotchman is now in Atlanta, via the Teixeira trade, and because of it, the Angels are stuck with an untested Kendry ...

By Josh Levitt Angels: The Angels are in dire need of another impact bat to hit in front of Vladimir Guerrero and Abreu would be a good fit. However, GM Tony Reagins has previously stated that the Angels will give their younger players a chance to fill the voids left by Garret Anderson and Mark Teixeira. If Re...

By Timm Davis …With the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes done and over with the Los Angeles Angles have decided it’s not worth the time and money to pursue free agent outfielder Manny Ramirez.  According to Angels General Manager Tony Reagins, the Angels are “going to give the kids a chance to play”. This means...

By Chris Bracey And teams like the Nationals, Angels and Orioles, who were only willing to spend big bucks on a franchise-player like Teixeira, will more than likely pass on Ramirez, as well. So, besides the Dodgers, who else does that leave? The New York Mets.

Even after losing Mark Teixeira to the free-spending Yankees, the Angels don't plan to pursue slugger Manny Ramirez.

By kobrien As for Teixeira, I believe you'll enjoy him, both what he brings on the field and off. I sent a story into online about how the negotiations went down. Here's a summary: An official involved in negotiations gave a rundown of the back-and-forth between the Yankees and Teixeira’s agent, Scott...

By Blez Instead the Yankees went out and spent about $424 million on arguably the best free agents on the market.  Teixeira, Sabathia and Burnett all Yankees and a big F U to the rest of MLB.  It used to be Crazy George Steinbrenner but now it's Nutso Hank.  I'd normally complain about it but the truth is...

By Max Colten Finally, let's talk New York media. Will Mark Teixeira be able to handle the pressure-cooker that is New York after spending his entire career with the Texas Rangers, the non-competitive Atlanta Braves, and a half year with a contending Angels?

By Billy DeCosta When Alex Rodriguez was traded to the New York Yankees, he said, "I felt like I had one foot in a Red Sox uniform." Mark Teixeira must feel the same way. ESPN's Buster Olney is reporting that free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira, the most coveted position player this offseason, has agreed to...

By Maryland Orioles' Fan(noreply@blogger.com) I don't care where Teixeira goes right now; therefore, if he comes to Baltimore, I would be pleased, but not overjoyed after what I have seen the past few weeks. If he chooses Boston or New York, he's nothing more than a money-grubbing mercenary.

Filed under: Angels, AL West, MLB RumorsI chided the Brewers and Yankees for letting the proposed "Mike Cameron for Melky Cabrera" swap die simply for lack of a phone call. Apparently, though, that's how people do business in the big leagues.

By Timm Davis …Now that the Angels have bowed out of the sweepstakes for Mark Teixeira’s services, they have a new focus - Brian Fuentes. With no closer, since K-Rod left for the life of a New York Met the Angles need a guy to close out games - Brian Fuentes seems to be the guy they want at the back end. [LA Times]

By Ian It’s two days before Christmas and Mark Teixeira has said he wants to know where he’ll be playing by Christmas. So will today be the day we find out he’ll be signing with the Boston Red Sox? Or will it be with the Baltimore Orioles, Washington Nationals, Los Angeles Angels or gulp, the New York...

By Joe Zedalis MASN Online is reporting that the Washington Nationals have "sweetened their proposal" to switch-hitting first baseman Mark Teixeira, citing "multiple sources." The Web site says the Nats are offering the 28-year-old an eight-year deal worth anywhere between $178 and $184 million. P...

By Maryland Orioles' Fan(noreply@blogger.com) And, yes, it involves the team to the south -- the Washington Nationals. According to multiple sources, the Washington Nationals have sweetened their proposal to first baseman Mark Teixeira, offering him an eight-year deal worth $178 to $184 million.

By Rick Chandler The Angels withdrew their eight-year offer — believed to be for $160 million — to Teixeira on Sunday afternoon, and team spokesman Tim Mead said the Angels will no longer pursue the free-agent first baseman. When pressed on whether this was a negotiating ploy, whether the Angels were play...

By Peter Abraham You hear a lot from people in the game that Teixeira is a lot like Alex Rodriguez. Though talented and hard working, he is ultimately concerned more about the bottom line than winning. Is this another example of that or will be wind up with Boston or Anaheim? We should know soon.

By e chigliak If you were to judge the current state of the pursuit of free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira by what you read this morning in, say, the Sunday New York Times, in an article by New York Times' writer Michael S. Schmidt entitled, "Yanks Keep Eye On Teixeira And Wait", you'd be led to belie...

By Administrator According to several published reports, the Los Angeles Angels have officially withdrawn their offer to free agent Mark Teixeira and have declared themselves OUT of the bidding for the first baseman. UPDATE: The report was confirmed late this afternoon by team spokesman Tim Mead, acco...

By Blicks The Angels are out of the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes. Tim Mead, the Angels' vice president of communications, confirmed a foxsports.com report that the team has withdrawn its offer to Mark Teixeira and is no longer pursuing the free-agent first baseman.

If the Angels don't get back in this at some point (and my money says no but I thought the Dodgers were going to win the Series last season so what good is my money), some fans will certainly rue the day that Casey Kotchman was traded for a two months of Teixeira.

By Maryland Orioles' Fan(noreply@blogger.com) From ESPN: The Angels' departure from the Teixeira sweepstakes leaves the Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, Washington Nationals and Baltimore Orioles as the four teams still in the mix for the premier position player in this winter's free-agent market.

By Ian Angels drop out of bidding: According to Tim Brown, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim have dropped out of the bidding for Mark Teixeira leaving just the Boston Red Sox, Baltimore Angels, Washington Nationals and New York Yankees vying for his services.

By Administrator In today’s edition the NY Times, columnist Michael Schmidt wrote that while the New York Yankees have interest in signing free agent 1B Mark Teixeira, he has been told by baseball sources that, at least for the time being, the ballclub is not willing to go beyond the eight-year, $160 milli...

By Billy DeCosta The Angels, Red Sox, Yankees, Orioles and Nationals are all apparently in the running. Baltimore Orioles Los Angeles Angels Make no mistake though, Los Angeles is right in the thick of all this and Teixeira could well decide to go back. Boston Red Sox New York Yankees

The market for Ramirez hasn't even begun to develop, though it should heat up to some extent once Mark Teixeira signs his new deal. Should the Red Sox sign Teixeira, it's very likely that the Angels would make a hard charge for Manny, but if the Angels are the winners of the Teixeira sweepstak...
