When the New York Yankees travel to Arlington, Texas to take on the first place Rangers, at the start of their next road trip, they will do so without All-Star first baseman Mark Teixeira.
According to a source close to Teixeira, who ranks as one of the team’s most important players on both offense and defense, the star will stay home to be with his wife, who is expecting a baby.
We can only assume, if the schedule is known this far in advance, that this is a planned birth. No word from our source on whether or not Teixeira will join the team for their four-game series in Kansas City—the second leg of the road trip.
By the way, think this wasn’t in the back (or perhaps front) of Brian Cashman’s mind when he made the deal that brought Lance Berkman to New York?
