First and foremost, Mark Teixeira tried to emphasize that he is focused on his current situation. "I'm a Texas Ranger," he said. But Teixeira, who grew up in Severna Park, also reiterated Friday what he's said before: He would strongly consider playing for the Orioles. "Baltimore, in the future, it's a place I'd love to look at," Teixeira said. "I don't want to talk too much about it. I don't want anything to be a distraction to my team. In a year and a half, we can have a lot of fun conversations."
