About time teams stop letting Boras run the show. I still say he'll end up in Anaheim or Boston though. I think Boras will lower the asking price if Texdoesn't want to play in Washington or NY.

I wish he would sign somewhere ESPN makes Tex look like the second coming with all their updates and what not.
This is one of the reasons I stopped watching MLB years ago. Greedy agents.

I heard on ESPNEWS that Manny told friends that he expects the Yankees will offer him a 3yr/ $75 mill contract but sources from the Yankees are saying theywould sign Manny if his asking price drops way below $25 mil and only for two years.

Lets say that Teixeira signs with Boston. They plan on trading Lowell and moving Youkilis to third base, but what happens during a potential World Series whenthe DH isnt available? Do they sit Tex or Ortiz?

11:37pm: Kat O'Brien and KenDavidoff have a new column up. They say that despite John Henry's Thursday statement, the Red Sox did not pull their $170-180MM offer. The Yankeeshave not made an offer; they're debating it internally.

3/75 for Manny?
That deciding factor for me is the 3 years. I hope we dont give him 4/100 cause thats

I think they could possibly move Tex to 3rd during NL games, then we'll get to hear stories of how he's such a team player on ESPN.

I hope it's true that we took our name out of the hat. I mentioned earlier in the thread how I was almost hoping we didn't sign him, due to theastronomical demands his agent is throwing down. Now, thinking about it more, I'm definitely hoping we leave him be. How often does it turn out that aplayer, in any sport, signs a HUGE contract that shocks the sports world, and that player continues to be as productive as they were before, or even moreproductive?
It rarely happens. What always happens is that a player is good for a couple years, great for a couple years, then he signs this mind-blowing contract, and isreduced to mediocrity, or 'slightly above average'.
