Mark Teixeira is in the final year of his $180 million contract with the New York Yankees, but he has no plans to stop playing baseball.

Teixeira, 35, says he plans to play for five or six more seasons and also hopes to remain with the Yankees.

"I've loved playing here. I've loved every minute of it," he said. "This is the whole package. The Yankees are the whole package. I mean, once you've played for the Yanks you've reached the pinnacle of Major League Baseball. It's just tough to see myself in another uniform."
