Note: Mark Teixeira and the Braves

by Matthew Cerrone on October 25th, 2007 at 8:47 am

At MLB.com, Braves beat writer Mark Bowman explains why it will be very difficult for the Braves to bring back 1B Mark Teixeira on a long-term contract when he is eligible for free agency following next season.

For what it’s worth, the Mets can make Carlos Delgado a free agent after next season, while the Yankees will most certainly cut ties with Jason Giambi, meaning both teams could be in the market for a new, full-time first baseman.

By the way, Teixeira is represented by Scott Boras.
