It might not be for the Braves, either, for two reasons. Firstly, Andruw and his big contract is coming off the books after this season. And Smoltz won't be around a lot longer. Chipper is questionable. So there is a lot of salary leaving. Secondly, the Braves are under new ownership, which has shown signs of loosening the purse strings a bit.
That said, Teixeira's agent is Boras, and the Braves might not be willing to pay $20 million a year for anyone.
