The Dallas News reports the Angels have upped their offer to the Rangers for first baseman Mark Teixeira. Their new offer is:

-Casey Kotchman
-Nathan Haynes or Terry Evans
-Ervin Santana or Joe Saunders or Nick Adenhart.


It looks like their biggest competition will be the Braves who offered their own package filled with some nice prospects.

I sure hope they can make this deal. Teixeira hasn't had a great season this year so far, but he is young and has put up huge numbers in the past. They definitely need someone else in that lineup to help out Vald.

The Rangers need to get rid of Teixeira and the Angels need good for all parts if it goes down.

I guess whatever they offered wasn't enough. Texiera is on his way to Atlanta.
