At FOXSports.com, Ken Rosenthal writes that Orioles owner Peter Angelos covets Braves 1B Mark Teixeira, and may be willing to offer a mammoth contract.

Teixeira, who turns 29 next spring, will likely be asking for eight years, $160 million according to Rosenthal.

Meanwhile, the Rockies are willing to trade closer Brian Fuentes who is a free-agent at the end of the season and have shown some intrigue in Aaron Heilman.

And even after the Willie Randolph saga, Rosenthal reports that Mets ownership still view Omar Minaya as their long-term GM with a possible contract extension on the horizon.

…i got a kick out of the fox sports poll which asked if you would want minaya as your gm…currently 86% voted for ‘no, he is a joke’…
