One GM hoping for Teixeira thinks he'll choose Red Sox
A general manager of one of the five teams involved in the
Mark Teixeira talks told the Globe's Nick Cafardo this morning
that in his opinion if the talks ended right now, Boston would
land the coveted free-agent first baseman. "I think they're in
the lead and ahead of where everyone else is right now," he said.
"I'm not sure who's bidding against them at this point." Asked
whether he thought the talks would end soon, the GM said, "You
just never know where Scott Boras and the Red Sox are involved."
The Red Sox, Yankees, Orioles, Nationals and Angels are the teams
still involved in the negotiations. And all of the teams appear to
be genuine in their interest with the possible exception of the
Yankees. If the Yankees' desire is to "drive up the price" for the
Red Sox while they strongly pursue Manny Ramirez, another Boras
client, they are apparently doing a good job. The Yankees have also
been known to swoop in at the last minute and eclipse everyone's
offer if they really want a player. And the Yankees do have a need
for Teixeira even with Nick Swisher on the team. The Yankees see
Swisher as a fallback guy and one could act as a super-sub because
of his ability to play first and the outfield. According to a report
in the Boston Herald in which Red Sox owner John Henry indicated he
would not go 10 years on a contract for any player, the Red Sox, at
least according to one GM, may be willing to go higher on the annual
salary than the other teams. At least at the moment.
