Eight years, $180 million to become the third-highest-paid player on his own team. ESPN.com has the details.
And be sure to read the incredibly amusing announcement on this news from the greatness that is Jamey Newberg, pasted within ...
The girl sitting next to me on the flight just now clearly didn't care, as she ate a footlong Subway, a huge bag of chips, two bags of peanuts, and a large Diet Coke during our 50-minute flight, all while nursing a bakery tin full of who-knows-what, a tin that would have rested comfortably on a regulation NBA rim, that she was using my arm as an arm rest -- rather than, you know, using the arm rest -- so I suspect she doesn't care much that Mark Teixeira has reportedly agreed to terms on an eight-year deal with the Yankees worth between $170-$180 million.
The Angels get a late first and a supplemental first-round pick as compensation, which I'd suggest is worth more than Casey Kotchman and Stephen Marek.
But not anywhere near worth The Five.
More in the next Newberg Report.
