Rosenthal's Latest: Teixeira, Markakis, Johnson

We have a new column from Ken Rosenthal this evening.

• Mark Teixeira is holding up many areas of the free agent market, as guys like Brian Fuentes and Milton Bradley know the Angels will be interested if Tex signs elsewhere.
• Rosenthal believes the Yankees should continue to be aggressive and make a competitive bid for Teixeira.
• The "poor working conditions and occasionally unruly crowd behavior" make it hard for the A's to attract free agents.  Their move in 2012 should help.
• Rosenthal believes Chase Utley's seven year, $85MM deal could provide a framework for a Nick Markakis extension.
• The A's will wait for free agent bargains now that they've lost Rafael Furcal.
• The Red Sox and Mets are the main suitors for Derek Lowe, with the Yankees less likely.
• The Braves have been shopping Kelly Johnson for an outfielder.  Attempts to acquire Ryan Ludwick or Corey Hart did not work out.
