As many of you know, The Angels have just added a piece to their pie that makes them favorites to go to the World Series. Mark Teixeira was part of a 2 team, 3 player trade with the Angels and Braves. Going to the Braves is infielder Casey Kotchman and Minor leaguer pitcher Steve Marek. The trade deadline has been very quiet this year until yesterday when Teixeira trade. Teixeira is a gold glove 1st baseman but the problem lies as he is only a rent-a-player. His contract ends this season. "Teix" agent is the one and only Scott Borris and will probably command upwards to 18-20 million this offseason. The Angels do have the money to sign him to a mega deal but if they don't they can still offer abritration and possibly get a 1st round pick out of it. What does this mean? Well I still believe that the White Sox, Twins, Tigers, Yankees, Boston are not done with aquiring players and we might see a few more trades happen. I do not think that Rays will trade anyone as they pretty much don't need anything.
MY perdiction on how the rosters look now (not including injuries, trades)
