ESPN's Ravech: Teixeira has "enormous attraction to the Orioles" Close to signing

[JDadd9]

YEAH! We got some love on Sportscenter! That was nice!!!

The Red Sux do not need Tex. The Sux can go out and trade for anybody or get anybody to sign. They have excess talent to trade and it's not like anybody doesn't want to play for the Sux. They have many options to improve that ballclub other than Mark Teixeira.

Tex is the best option for the Orioles to get an impact bat unless we want to signifcantly overpay for lesser talent or trade away our top young arms for bats.

True, but why trade when they have the money to sign whoever they want. They haven't signed anyone big this year, so Tex to the RSox makes more sense than Tex to us.

The league could be catching up to Dice-K... Beckett is getting older, and definitely wasn't the dominating pitcher last year as he was in season's past... and Wakefield, seriously- he can only go so much longer...

JOn Lester is a stud, and Buchholz could be soon... With your age at certain position and in SP, I really don't see the guaranteed success so many claim. I think you guys need Tex a LOT more than anyone will admit.

Beckett will be 29. Masuzaka went 18-3 with a sub-3.00 ERA. Really? C'mon. Not to mention the fact that they have a fantastic farm system.

ESPN saying Tex still has O's and Nats still in the running. Hardly "news"

very true!

The lack of any type of leak about the orioles end in the Tex negotiations bothers me. I know AM keeps his house water tight but if we are in an endgame why isn't Boras leaking the monster offer in the media and hope someone else panics?

Could it be that the O's offer is so sweet that he doesn't want it public so the other bidders just won't drop out?

Only Boras knows.....

If I may say so, the Red Sox fan who entered this thread has been pretty respectful and pretty cool.

Though, I like to call them the Sux sometimes too, maybe we could curb it back just a bit.

Thanks!

Gammons: If you Teixeria were to go to the east coast; to Boston or Washington...

Seriously...does he even know we exist?????

[raypetty]

I hope that PA doesn't let us down on this one. He has wanted to get Tex and now has the chance. Come on Angelos.

I love how Peter Gammons says that Mark Teixeira may go to the East coast, and only mentions the Nationals and Red Sox.

[UMDTerrapins]

Gammons again no mention of Orioles.

Gammons seems to think its between the Sux and Nats on the East Coast

[Hank Scorpio]

Gammons again no mention of Orioles.

More of the same nothing...

Please lord, let Mark Teixeira just sign with somebody. I'm tired of hearing his name!!!!!!
