<!--quoteo-->QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Angels, who signed outfielder Juan Rivera to a three-year, $12.75-million deal Friday, could also look to bolster their offense by pursuing a free-agent outfielder such as Bobby Abreu, Pat Burrell, Adam Dunn, or, possibly, Manny Ramirez.
Or, they could look to trade for a hitter such as Jermaine Dye, Paul Konerko, Garrett Atkins or Joey Votto, a 25-year-old first baseman who batted .297 with 24 homers and 84 RBIs for Cincinnati in 2008.
They will probably use some of the money budgeted for Teixeira to sign closer Brian Fuentes, who is seeking a three-year, $30-million deal and has said that the Angels are his first choice.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Link. Please trade for Votto.
