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

[enzenga21]

Wait.....

this article says its 8 years, 22 per year. Wasnt the O's offer something like 21 something per year for 7 years??? If so, why not match the offer that is being said to come from boston???

[MarylandTerp08]

Roch says he'd be surprised if we matched 8 years and $23 million annually, but I'm sure we'll have no problem matching last season's losing record with another.

Wouldn't 8/185 beat the Sox offer?

I think before everyone cries in there beer everyone should take a step back. There is alot of things that happen in a negotiation. Media reports are always going to be out there. Team personal usually do have face to face meetiings with said player and agent. We have!!!!! Until you hear that Tex has signed somewhere don't get to down.

Any chance you were expecting this?

[jcroemer]

We'll see how badly Angelos wants Tex now...

We'll see if Angelos wants anyone in the seats next year :angryfire:

When did we meet him face to face?

[KyleBoller4Prez]

Nope, we let Cabrera go... and you guys thought you wouldn't miss him!

A sick part of me wants to see Guthrie put a fastball right between his shoulder blades.

[SHAWN555]

We are going to have to go to 10/230 to beat it...

Really?

What are you basing this on?

If the sox offer 8/184, there is no numbers between 8/184 and 10/230???

[tywright]

I don't see anything different...except for the negotiations. Why haven't they mentioned that there has been negotiations with the O's?

My friend, I'm sorry, but I see no other reason why the team owner, CEO and GM would all fly out to TX.

Roch said from what he's heard, we wont match Boston's offer.

[odogs101]

Schmuck made a good point.

With all of the reporters covering this story, nationwide and in the four cities in play, it would be quite shocking if this reporter is the one that breaks the story.

[UMDTerrapins]

I think the chance that we don't make a final offer that is in the vicinity of Boston's "final offer" is slim. And I feel confident that we are given that chance. I don't see any reason why would have made a second offer at this point.
