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

How credible?

Scott Boras never ceases to amaze me. Fact is, the team that lands Tex will not have reports leaked like this; they will most likely not have reports of a signing being "close" until it is official. Boras is great at misdirecting the media and creating mass chaos at media outlets trying to get a grip on his negotiations. The thing that confuses me, however, is why/how the hell does the Central Maine Sports Blog have ties to the Nationals organization?

It does go with what GAmmons was saying:confused:

Amen to that. Thankfully, my source says He is an O's fan.

Hopefully, He has some divine intervention in the negotiations. :laughlol:

open slots. Not rotation slots. I assume some of the rotation slots will be filled by players already under our control.

Who are you thinking, I was think possibly Albers?

[The Wedge]

Just a random thought:

How many people would go out any by Holiday 4-packs or 13 game plans or other ticket plans based SOLELY on the O's signing Tex? I have friends that said they would go the next day.

I already have mine.

If I had the money I'd probably have a package before the signing.

It does go with what GAmmons was saying:confused:

It was written 6 days ago and its the central maine sports blog. Enough said.

If anyone likes to get angry, Gammons is coming up on espnews.

It does go with what GAmmons was saying:confused:

Problem is that it's almost a week ago that was posted. So it is probably not even credible. :mwahaha:

Pretty big exceptions.

Yep..What if we aren't willing to give an opt out(if they are looking for it)....Does that kill the deal?

Is she an Orioles fan?

she's not a baseball fan.

Cause there the Maine source for your sporting needs... of course :laughlol:

[Birds08]

What's great about BB's news is that now we are hearing good things from both the FO insiders and the ownership insiders. Its all coming together.

I am a little upset, though, because it really feels like this will come to a head tomorrow, and I unfortunately will be traveling in meetings most of the day. I would absolutely love it if something could happen tonight.

At some point the luck of this organization must turn. The worm must turn at some point. Is it noiw? Is it with a signing of Tex? It has to turn some time...... it has to......it has to........it has to........

Oh you went with the play on words. Nice!!!:laughlol:

I bet Tex insists on an opt out clause in case we still stink in 3-4 years. Angelos probably doesn't like the sound of it.

I'd cave and give him an opt out, but only after four years or so.
