Mark Teixeira Doesn’t Care About the Baltimore Orioles
When a Maryland native says repeatedly that he’s not thinking about free agency and the possibility of returning to play for his hometown team, you can assume that he’s not interested in said hometown team.
“I’m so focused on winning here with the Angels that I’ve put off all the free-agent talk for the end of the season,” Teixeira said. “For me and my teammates, that’s the best thing to do.”
He said that with the Texas Rangers, he said it with the Atlanta Braves, and he’s saying it as a member of the Los Angeles Angels. Teixeira is a human magnet for being traded to good teams, so you figure he’s not going to let free agency do his legacy dirty.
Besides, he allegedly will be looking for $20 million a season for the next ten years, which will definitely interfere with keeping Nick Markakis and other young Orioles that can really bring the team back to some level of prominence.
Get over it Orioles. Teixeira is just not that into you.
