Yanks sign Mark teixeira
8 yr/170 million
Source: Teixeira, Yanks agree to 8-year deal ESPN.com Updated: December 23, 2008, 3:28 PM Free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira has reached agreement with the New York Yankees on an eight-year contract worth more than $170 million, a source involved in the negotiations tells ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney. The Yankees swooped in on Teixeira on Tuesday when it was believed the Boston Red Sox or the Washington Nationals were the likeliest of his future employer. The Red Sox's offer was believed to be in the range of $170 million, and the Nationals reached out with an offer perhaps greater than that of Boston. http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/news/story?id=3790141 |

Reported by Buster Olney, who earlier reported this morning that Tex was down to two teams - Red Sox and Nationals.

![]() The Red Sox also make out like bandits in the current system, but this really underscores what a joke it is. With the new stadium, it will only get worse. Yankees will have double the payroll of anyone else in baseball soon, if they don't already.

They shed some decent sized contracts though. Giambi, Pettitte, Mussina, and I'm not sure who else.
