Update: Angels get Teixeira for Kotchman

Well, that didn't take long.

The Braves knew there was plenty of suitors for Mark Teixeira and today they pulled the trigger with the Angels.

A day after they reportedly talked to six MLB teams, Teixeira is being sent from Atlanta to Anaheim for 1B Casey Kotchman and Double-A left-handed pitcher Stephen Marek.


Both Teixeira (20 HR/78 RBI) and Kotchman (12 HR/54 RBI) are worthy of high claims in either AL- or NL-only formats. In mixed leagues, both hitters will retain relatively the same value.
