Jon Heyman reports Mark Teixeira signs with Yankees

[MallCopKJ]

SI claims Tex has agreed to terms with the Yankees. You have got to be kidding me.....and their geoing to get Manny? This is ridiculous if its true.

 

[angelsrockies4ever]

I don't know if it's true, but Teixeira's deal is coming up next on ESPN, so I'd assume he did, indeed, sign with the Yankees.

 

[bigpapiMA32]

Manny right now

 

[andyduke86]

They're still the 3rd best team in the division.

 

[iphoner111]

Yes he did

 

[brianga26]

How. why?? come on.. Salary Cap time.. I hate the YANKEES.. who cares if they have all of the money.. they are ruining baseball..

 

[MallCopKJ]

Pretty classless of the Yankees to claim they didn't make Tex an offer and what 2 days later he's a Yankee. 8 years 180 mill. What the hell is Manny going to do now? PUJOLS MUST BE A RED SOX

So its either the Mets or Angels who are are going to get Manny!

Who knows it could be true, others were making offers they were thinking about hitting the BIN.

My Wife will be in a bad mood for the rest of the day as both a Yankee hater and a Tex fan. I think she'll be dumping her Teixeira collection in the next couple days. :?

I see him signing with the Dodgers more than the Mets sadly. Manny loved LA.

 

[F-Topps]

Ok, I have calmed down. Atleast he diidnt go to the Red Sox!

F**k the Yankees & F**K The Mlb!

I am seriously not watching it on TV this year, they are more or less a lock for the WS.... Yankee fans should hang their heads when they beat teams now, this is a serious joke...... as much as I dislike saying this It's time for a Salary cap before I start watching again.

And let's not joke around people they are gonna distroy teams now...... it's aweful and I feel bad to be a supporter of the MLB right now.

You do realize the Yankees payroll is still over $25 million LESS than it was last year, right? They had $88million come off their payroll this winter... and have paid a total of roughly $60 million to Sabathia, Burnett, & Teixeira. They could still give Manny what he wants and have a cheaper roster than last year's team.

 

[shephech]

Please explain the 88 Million that came off thanks, and what about years to come?????

They are a complete joke to baseball.

$10MM Pavano
$16MM? Abreu
$16MM Mussina
$17MM? Giambi
$16MM Pettitte (if re-signed, it'll be a net $4-6MM savings)

That's off the top of my head.
