EDGE Analysis
His contract is up at the end of 2016, and he is comfortable calling it quits after a 14-year career. He eclipsed the 400 home run mark earlier this season and his career batting average currently sits at .269. Teixeira will be remembered as one of the premier power hitters of the mid-to-late 2000s. He is currently day-to-day after getting hit by a pitch on the shin. Greg Bird figures to be the Yankees' Opening Day first baseman in 2017.
