Sign Them All!
Here's the latest from Heyman and he has the Yankees in the Teixeira sweepstakes. The Yankees are also supposedly on the verge of trading for Mike Cameron and possibly Bill Hall. (Why would you want to trade for Bill Hall?) They are negotiating with Burnett, Lowe, Pettitte and Sheets and hope to possibly sign two of them.
Wow

Peter, how do you gauge their interest in Teixeira? Is it sincere or just an attempt to drive the price up? Obviously the Red Sox would never do such a thing as to drive up the price on another player they have no intentions of signing...

I am sure they noticed that the Red Sox met with CC Sabathia on Monday, but I think there is more to this than returning the favor. The need is clearly there and even if they signed Burnett (18m), Sabathia (23m), Teixeira (20m) and traded for Cameron (10m) their payroll would be less than last year.
