Bad, bad news for the Yankees and Mark Teixeira. An official statement from the Yankees, marking the end of Teixeira?s season:
?After a recent MRI with dye contrast was performed on Mark Teixeira?s right wrist, New York Yankees Team Physician, Dr. Christopher Ahmad, along with Dr. Melvin Rosenwasser and two other New York-based hand specialists (Dr. Michelle Carlson from the Hospital for Special Surgery and Dr. Keith Raskin from NYU) confirmed that the sheath has not adequately healed.? Surgery has been recommended to repair the tear on the tendon sheath of his wrist.?
Injured during the runup to the World Baseball Classic, Teixeira only managed 63 ineffective plate appearances this year. He?s 33 now and is under contract through 2016 at $22.5 million a year.
Given the severity of this injury and the fact that it has often sapped power and production from other players who have had it in the past ? Mark DeRosa is one; while Jose Bautista is a more optimistic example ? one has to wonder if that?s not a worse contract than A-Rod?s at this point.
