There was a story that hit the Internet today saying that all the Angels had to do to obtain Mark Teixeira from the Braves was to trade Robb Quinlan and Brandon Wood.

Last year the Angels were in discussions with Texas regarding Teixeira and offered far more than that. When told the latest rumor, general manager Tony Reagins laughed for a short while.

"Wow," he finally said. "Those bloggers, man."

Reagins' laughter seems like nothing more than a diversionary tactic.

Also, two months and a post-season of Teixeira's services is a completely different deal from last year's requisite Rangers' offer.
