Boras meeting with Henry and Epstein. Reported offer 8/184

MaineMule · Dec 18, 2008

...and I can almost say without a doubt that Manny will be playing LF in the Bronx next year........

sportscardtheory · Dec 18, 2008

Manny signs with the Yanks if Tex signs with the Sox... GUARANTEED.

rico08 · Dec 18, 2008

Manny signs with the Yankees regardless. He doesn't care what other free agents sign where; he'll get his $$ from whoever is offering.

That's not a terrible contract. I was getting worried with some of the rumors going 10 years $25+ a year from other teams.

Or not....

ya my wife just pointed this article out to me. I'm so confused now. Fox and ESPN are reporting two completely different sides of the story now! I don't know what to think. I'm crossing my fingers FOX is right.

Damn I hope he doesn't go to Boston. I would hope he would go to a team where he would be appreciated and they can build around him instead of throwing him into an already inflated lineup of stars. Perhaps Baltimore or Washington?

saw THAT coming lol

Hey, if Zimmerman can come back healthy, and his second half numbers showed that this year, Tex could be a big relief off of him. It has been quoted that Zimmerman is THE guy that Washington wanted to build around. He has also been quoted as pressing too hard. A Teixiera type player in DC could help him become an even better player and hell, the overall objective is for the Nats NOT to lose 100 games in a season! Its a long long long shot and a snowball's chance in hell, but hey, I can dream can't I?

you sure can!

Looks like Tex will not be signing with the Red Sox.

ThoseBackPages · Dec 19, 2008

Manny and Tex are going to be Yankees

It will most likely be the Nationals, Angels or the Orioles... I say the Nationals.

serving4theking · Dec 19, 2008

For the sake of his card values, now that the Red Sox seem to be out of it, I hope he likes southern California.

scotty21690 · Dec 19, 2008

Good news for Lars Anderson.

Tomlinson21RB · Dec 19, 2008

So we're either looking at another athlete who is all about the money and going against what he said he wanted (winning team on the east coast) or we're looking at the Red Sox calling a Boras bluff. We pretty much know that there were better offers than what the Red Sox put out there, but they were the situation that best met his preferences. I'm sure Boras was throwing around the figures from the Nationals and Orioles trying to get the Red Sox to match it even if Teix was willing to take the reduced contract to play for a winner.

markakis8 · Dec 19, 2008

I may be biased here but I just don't see Tex signing with the Nationals. If he is going to be play for non-contender next year (next year only

) it will be the Orioles. The O's were his fav team growing up, he's from the Baltimore area, and the Orioles are offering more money per year than the Nationals.

Honestly, if the Red Sox aren't in the picture I could see him going to either the Angels or Orioles now.

EDIT: I see the Orioles making a serious run in 2010 or 2011 with their young pitching staff they have developing and Wieters will have a year or two under his belt in the MLB.
