Atomic RoadRunners | Andrew Flynn’s High-Energy Fantasy Baseball

Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that the Angels “will not engage in protracted negotiations with” Mark Teixeira and “might go in a completely different direction” if they can’t re-sign him by next Thursday. Unfortunately, agent Scott Boras is unlikely to make it a quick process. “In any situation, you get to a point where you have to make a decision and move the business forward,” general manager Tony Reagins said. “In any negotiation, there always comes that point where you have to say, you’re in or you’re out.” (Rotoworld)

“Mark is a priority, and we have a high level of interest,” general manager Tony Reagins said. “He’s a talented ballplayer. The way he goes about his business was impressive. Being able to see him every day was eye-opening, really, and we think he adds to what we want to do.” Teixeira hit .358 with 13 home runs in 193 at-bats with the Angels. His monster numbers after his trade from Atlanta probably have more to do with him historically playing well in the second half than anything else. No matter where he signs, he’ll enter 2009 as a top-three Fantasy 1B and a likely third-round draft pick. (CBS Sports)
