Heyman On Teixeira

Jon Heyman’s latest column does a fine job analyzing Mark Teixeira’s future.  To sum it up:

• Heyman’s source expects the asking price to be around ten years and $200MM.  Personally, I don’t see him getting a term nearly that long.
• Heyman and his sources do not see the Braves re-signing Tex.
• The suitors, in order of likelihood: Yankees, Mets, Orioles, Mariners, Braves, Red Sox, Giants.  A battle of the New York powers is a reasonable prediction – both clubs should have first base open and the market for the position is otherwise poor.
• In a February MLBTR poll, the Yankees were picked as Tex’s most likely future club.
