Teixeira Rumor Shot Down

so?

he is giving news, if you don't like the news, don't "contribute"

ya i think hes going to whoever offers him 10 years and 200 million dollars not who gives him the most baltimore ravens tickets

Tex to the Nats!!

I don't think its about money for Teix. I think he wants to go to Baltimore ideally, but if they don't lie out serious restructuring plans to compete with the Yankees and Red Sox (and of course they Rays), he's going to Boston. He didn't leave Texas and Atlanta to move to another losing team. I think if the Orioles laid out a plan and 7/150, he would go there. However, I don't think competing with the Yankees and Red Sox in the next few seasons is in the cards for the Orioles right now, hence why I say there is no way he ends up anywhere but Boston or Anaheim. Anaheim has location against them.

Maybe he'll be interested int he Pirates after the Steelers whoop the Ravens ass'

lol was just postin the same thing rdsoxplaya23

Teix+Holliday 40 mil
combined .320 or so BA.
60 or so homers
220-250 rbi.

Arod 30 mil
.320 40-50hr and 120-130 rbi

Doesn't seem like a bad price for me based on the new standards. double run production 10-20 more homers and of course double the hits and AB. Along with not batting .220 w/risp. only 10 mil more.

Santana/Beckett FTW, but from a business stand point A-rod will make more money for your team than those combine.

"A-rod will make more money for your team than those combine. "

Not really. Read your records. Yankee stadium has been selling out for far longer than A-rod's been there. His presence hasn't increased jersey sales, or pretty much anything at all financially. Hence why the 10/275 was such a horrible deal for the Yankees. I promise you if A-Rod got injured you wouldn't see ticket sales drop one bit.

Not to mention the new stadium is pretty much all corporate now. So true fans cant even get to a game. Season ticket prices skyrocketed this offseason.

AROD will generate more money yes but thats only when he starts going for the homerun title. And seeing as how the yanks usually fill their stadium pretty well home and away its not going to make them that much more money but it does almost guarantee a steady income for the life of his contract and is a great signing in terms of generating a revenue stream. TEX and Holliday would also bring in a good deal in merchandising especially if they both sign long term deals.

beastOftheEast, actually if they go to the season with their current offense, they haven't done anything. They need a run producer behind A-rod, a guy like Tex or Manny. Last year they had problems scoring runs and in 2009 they won't have Abreu and Giambi.

"You are completely wrong. Something like 80 percent of the seats are very easily affordable to anybody. It is the other 20 percent of seats where the prices just rise into absurd territory. But the majority of the seats are affordable for the average fan."

Have you seen the economy lately? Whose going to pay for these seats, certainly not upper class suburbians from new jersey of conneticut.

The Angels have reportedly already offered Teixeira 8/$180-$185MM.

AROD lover-

No one said the Sox would get Holliday. I only recommended it and said that he would be worth the money it would cost.

Its pretty obvious you think the Yankees are the only team who can spend money and you are wrong.

Andrew - after reading your post you sound pretty full of yourself too.

"Matter of fact, you can still get bleacher seats, which are rather good seats, for $14 bucks."

"Rather good"? The bleachers are the worst possible place to watch a baseball game. Why would you want to sit behind the outfield when 95% of the game happens in the infield?

That said, $26 for bleacher seats in Fenway is the biggest ripoff in sports.

tex will not be a yankee unfortunatly. the yankees arent gunna top 8 years for 160 mill when they jus got cc for 7/$160. but however manny ramirez could be a yankee.

i could definetly live with that especially #s 1-4.

no one said that the Red Sox "are" getting Holliday. But if they get Teixiera and haven't locked up Bay for more years, you bet they will bid and bid high for Holliday. Holliday is going to New York, Boston, LA, or another major spotlight city where he can rack in some serious cash. I see the Sox as his best suitor seeing how Bay's contract will be up and they will have a big bat and gap to fill in left. All signs point towards this.

In my opinion, if the sox didn't feel they had a good shot at holliday, Bay would be right there on that list with Youkilis of guys to resign to long term deals immediately. Bay is not currently on that list.

Jeff Biggs of AM 830 reported that Tony Reagins confirmed to him that the Angels made an offer of 8/$180-$185MM.
