The Teixeira Watch: Part V - AM says the O's "have flexibility" on Tex

[eastonguy]

We'll certainly give the Marlins a run for their money. And truthfully, PA and AM deserve it.

Hey, atleast they have a new stadium to look forward to.

...claims Tex is in Texas

The Sox don't expect anything "conclusive" to come out of Thursday's meeting, but that doesn't mean a deal couldn't be done in the next few days.

This is the only glimmer of hope I have seen...

More so Angelos, more so Angelos who just when you think it can't get any worse....

What has AM done to deserve it? Some of you guys are getting ridiculous.

Why does everyone automaticly think that they are finishing up a deal if the Big Boys are down in Texas?

My take is almost the opposite.

If they were about to sign him Tex would be in Boston. The fact that they are in Texas smells of desperation to me.

I do think it is almost over.

I think that he wants to take our offer but Boras says "You want him? I'm in Texas so get on down here and prove it or he is going to be an Oriole.?

Hopefully.

The bigger news would be if Teixeira and Boras are both in Texas. If the Red Sox are meeting with both of them, then this thing is over.

It also says they do not expect anything conclusive to come out of the meeting

Does the photo on that site say that Tex is #25?

Give the guy a break. He's only run us into the ground for 11 seasons. Why stop now?

[SHAWN555]

Yep, it's over...

It may be over but the article does state

The Sox don't expect anything "conclusive" to come out of Thursday's meeting, but that doesn't mean a deal couldn't be done in the next few days. (

Did you even read the blurb here's something that stuck out to me

The Sox don't expect anything "conclusive" to come out of Thursday's meeting

[Belkast]

Curious but not yet concerned is the response I recieved.

[Skeletor]

Any attendance predictions for next year without Tex? My guess is ~10k/game. 5k of which will be Yankees/Sox fans.

And they're just there to scout their future catcher and right fielder.

[alskor]

So in 3 years when Markakis is being offered 150 mil from the Red Sox and Yankees what then? It will never end.

Maybe Tex isn't worth the money, but you really think that matters to the Red Sox and Yankees.

And I love the way people say that there's an abundance of power hitting 1B, yet we've been stuck with garbage for the last 10 years there.

And yes, NY and Bos are passing out 20 mil contracts like its candy. Get used to it, because its not going anywhere. Just like the O's aren't going anywhere.

Like I said, TB was a great story, but all it did was piss Bos and NY off. But hey, I'm already over Tex. Go Millar..Ha

Step 1: Build championship caliber core of cost controlled young players like Wieters, Arrieta, Tillman, Matusz...

Step 2: Shuffle the deck while contending, signing some young guys to team favorable pre arb extensions and trading others for needs/other good young players

Step 3: Sign big time free agents who now want to come play for a good team with a championship caliber core.

[Dirtyburnie]

Is not the end of the world if Tex does't come. If you leave the Orioles over this you were never a real fan!
