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

[BaltimoreFan]

Yeah, I really appreciate the updates if they're true, but it's hard to tell as there have been so many conflicting reports.

Gammons doesn't mention the Orioles while Ravech says that Tex is leaning toward them. I don't know what to think at this point.

Keep in mind, folks, that the Roberts deal was "done" last year as well.

Again, I'm not criticizing the source all, I just don't want to get my hopes up

Wow...that post is going to cause a serious freakout in about three hours. Can we get an over-under on how quick the board goes down. I say by 7:15 a.m.

It's like we're the select few who know the world is about to end before it does. Everyone else is going to wake up and be blindsided. :laughlol:

Here's to sleeping late, having a night shift, and drinking!

High fives all around! No, I'll head to sleep and hope that when I wake up that info turned out to be true. Would be cool to have heard it first, though. Just can't afford to get my hopes up yet. We'll see.

I am flying out east to Red Sox territory tomorrow. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than to know we have Tex and, oh yeah, to have this over the seven trillion RS fans out there

I couldn't sleep so I decided to watch a few good men and then check in on OH to see if any updates. Of course there's a "We Got Him" update. Dece.

Keep in mind guys I only said that my source has told me we've signed him....I have no guarantee as to when it goes down.

And we get that, thanks a lot for the updates.

[GuidoSarducci]

I really wish baseball free agency consisted of an open auction that lasted an afternoon. I guess then agents wouldn't be able to justify their exorbitant fees.

[robbykrieger]

Read into this as much or as little as you want. I just received a text saying we got him.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!! 7117, you da man! Welcome home, Tex!

alllllllrighty then...

If we signed him it will likely go down tomorrow. That kind of news is hard to keep from the media much less our insiders. I would say an official announcement would come Friday. Today should be fun.

Edit: double post.

Any guesses on how much the final bill is going to be?

I'm going to say it's over 8 years, and at least $20 million a year.

I wouldn't be shocked if it turns out to be a nice round 10/200.
