In his four full seasons in Arlington, Teixeira made one All-Star Game and earned two Gold Glove awards for his defensive prowess at first base. He was traded to the Atlanta Braves in 2007, where he played parts of two seasons.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>After a short stint with the Los Angeles Angels, Teixeira signed with the New York Yankees in 2009.
