http://www.murraychass.com/?p=385 With the focus of every signing or trade being on the rivalry between the Yankees and the Red Sox, this needs to be said first about the Yankees’ signing of Mark Teixeira. The Yankees didn’t snatch him away from the Red Sox because they outbid or outsmarted the Red Sox. Teixeira didn’t sign with the Red Sox, a baseball official said, because he and his wife, especially his wife, didn’t want to live in Boston. If necessary, they were going to choose the big bad city of New York, and they did. “He just didn’t want to go to Boston,” the official said. “He didn’t want to be a Red Sox so Boras called the Yankees and said he really wants to be a Yankee.” The agent, Scott Boras, of course, didn’t let his client’s preferences get in the way of negotiating a top-tier contract. If an agent can lure the Yankees and the Red Sox into a negotiation, he is not going to tell either that the player doesn’t want to play there. Boras’ response to the official’s explanation was interesting for its lack of a flat-out denial. “I don’t think the geographics were going to be outcome determinative if things were closer,” Boras said in a telephone interview Wednesday. “The family issues and where they reside were obviously part of the decision. Tex and his wife had their discussions. I don’t know what that dialogue was.” But the agent added, “To say Boston was out of the picture, that wasn’t the case. He strongly considered the Red Sox.” -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 118.160.68.32
