It's not a fun process. There is no need for the team and a player to be on opposing sides a week or two before spring training. It's good to be on the same page.

More quotes by Mark Teixeira
It's just about being in the zone, in any sport, be it football, basketball or baseball.
Mark Teixeira
I expected to be in the big leagues soon. I didn't know exactly how soon, but I wanted to be here soon, and I wanted to make a difference soon.
Mark Teixeira
Agents are probably going to hate me for saying it... You're not very valuable when you're making $20 million. When you're Mike Trout, making the minimum, you are crazy valuable. My first six years, before I was a free agent, I was very valuable. But there's nothing you can do that can justify a $20 million contract.
Mark Teixeira
There are always things to improve on. I want to improve on my defense, and you can never be a perfect hitter. I want to focus on just playing more and being able to improve on all parts of my game.
Mark Teixeira
I'm not one of those crazy collectors - I don't have a hundred watches. Only five or six. But I do like to wear a nice watch, especially if we're on the road and I'm wearing a nice suit.
Mark Teixeira
I really expect a lot of myself.
Mark Teixeira
Baseball is a game of failure. There are plenty of opportunities to be down, or to feel sorry for yourself, or to be upset at somebody or upset at yourself.
Mark Teixeira
Being from Baltimore, I'm a crab cake snob, and I'm very particular on where I eat my crab cakes.
Mark Teixeira
You can never pat yourself on the back during the season. Then you get complacent, stop working and let yourself slide.
Mark Teixeira
I have three beautiful children and a World Series ring. That's all I need.
Mark Teixeira
I have sensitive skin, so I don't use regular razors. The Yankees make us stay cleanly shaven!
Mark Teixeira
If I can be a good person and help a few non-believers or even help people that are believers but need a little help along the way, I think that's a job that I take very seriously.
Mark Teixeira
I've always felt that I need to be somebody in the middle of the lineup that's going to drive in runs and come up with big hits.
Mark Teixeira
To be able to play baseball for those nine innings in front of a major league crowd is a special privilege.
Mark Teixeira
Every time I pray, I ask for forgiveness. I'm a sinner. I sin every single day. But I do know that God loves me. I do know that God forgives me. It helps me in my every day life because there's nothing anyone can do to me that I can't forgive them for.
Mark Teixeira
I have a relationship with Christ. It allows me to handle situations better. It allows me to treat people better and it allows me to have a better mental attitude towards baseball.
Mark Teixeira
My first postseason home run was a walk-off in the Division Series. That was just a special moment in my career.
Mark Teixeira
You can never completely get it - being a Christian - but I think I really got it when my first son was born in 2006. I just realized the love that God has for all of us. It was seeing my son born and knowing the unconditional love that I have for him.
Mark Teixeira
My dad and all my family were into baseball. His brothers, my mom's brothers, my mom's father. Baseball was just always a part of our family.
Mark Teixeira
I have a lot of watches that need to be kept wound, so if I take two of them on a trip, there's always one sitting around. And if it sits around for a day, then it'll stop working. And then you have to reset the time and date, which is annoying.
