"Mike Lynch on Ch 5:

Sox are OUT

A source says there is a $200M deal on the table

The Yankees are in it

Boras believes he'll have a deal sometime tomorrow

Sox only wanted to spend $160M, then were willing to go to $185

No f'n way they were going to $200M"

So...could it be the MFY's?? :cussing:

Hope I did this well enough for the board, also hope it's relevant and not old news...I tried.

This would NOT be good news, if true.

Here's how it reads to me. Henry is tired of Boras' games. He can't go talk with the other owners/GM's and say "Is one of you really offering what Boras says one of you is offering?". He can't go and say, "We're not really offering what Boras says we're offering." So he's calling Boras bluff by going public. He's got nothing to lose because if it's not a bluff, then the Sox aren't going to match whatever the new offer is anyway. I think Henry is probably right, though.

Do you believe the Orioles, The Baltimore Orioles now, actually offered an 8-10 years contract for $200 million to one player. I mean I hope they did, and maybe this is why AM has seemed so calm these last few days. Maybe that offer came from Yankees tho, who just became interested, or the Nats who are desperate to make a splash.

This board will probably blow up if he signed with the Yankees. If he does sign with the Yankees I would give them alot of credit. They went after what they needed (wanted)

2 all star pitchers, and a all star young hitter.

Sorry if I'm nitpicking, but Burnett is NOWHERE close to being an All-Star pitcher.

I think that DC just got a 1st baseman. Probably for something ludicrous like 8/220.

And frankly at that level I don't blame the O's one bit for not upping that. There is overpaying and then there is losing your mind.

Besides the O's will make money off of MASN.

Renamed and made this Part VII.

My feelings? As the Tex Turns.... A Sports Soap Opera.

[MarylandTerp08]

No one count out the Yankees! If they creatively work his contract, they can sign him. I am not as optimistic as everyone, the Yankees scare me.

[JTrea81]

Well this is thread #7.

Anyway before that thread was closed I was thinking Boras would want to steer Tex to Baltimore because of Matt Wieters. Wieters will eventually be the #3 hitter in the lineup IMO so what better guy to protect your client so he gets good pitches to hit than Mark Teixeira.

With no Tex, batters would just pitch around Wieters...

[OrioleWay27]

Posted this earlier, but I really don't think the Angels will land Tex.

They are going to be the most fiscally responsible than any of the teams left, and more importantly, their location will ultimately eliminate them, in my opinion.

This is Teixiera's ultimate opportunity to set he and his family up for the next 8-10 years, and for the rest of his life. I believe location is an important factor, which is why the East Coast teams have had a huge advantage this whole time. Teixeira prefers to play close to home, unless another team like the Angels comes through with an offer he can't refuse (something higher than the Nats apparent offer). Given they have a limit on what they will spend on a player, I don't think they will land him.

Lets hope Tex is singing...

"Ill be home for Christmas. You can count on me!"
