"We Are Not Going To Be A Factor"
Shocking news out of Boston tonight where Red Sox owner, John Henry, emailed the press to say that the Red Sox are out of the Mark Teixeira sweepstakes. The last reports had Boston offering 8 years and $180 million+, but Henry said "After hearing about his other offers, however, it seems clear that we are not going to be a factor."
Did Boras overplay his hand here, or is there really a team that is willing to beat that offer? And if there is, what team is it? Washington is a possibility and it is close to his home, but would Tex really want to go to a team that lost 102 games last year?
Stay tuned

Well, I remember hearing not that long ago that A-Rod was done as a Yankee ... until he wasn't (done, that is). Boras is an interesting fellow.
Staying tuned.

The cynic in my says this is all posturing. I'll believe it when (and if) he signs with another time. The very article you referenced speculates that this could be the Red Sox calling Boras' bluff. Time will tell.
