Mark Teixeira and the Atlanta Braves were able to come to terms on a deal for 2008 that will pay Teixeira $12.5 million dollars to stay with the Braves. While most Braves were hoping that they would agree on a long term deal, they should be happy he will still be in Atlanta for the 08 season.
I expect Teixeira to play the free agent market after the 08 season so the Braves are going to have to pony up some money to keep the big first basemen around. Tex will be hoping for a huge year so he can cash in on the free agent market.
