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 |

That's crazy. I can't see them signing him now. they were only signing him if the Red Sox signed Texterra (sp?)

I'd like to see Dayton Moore's initial reaction to this type of stuff. Laughter? Kick something?

They've never learned this. You'd think they'd realize that four championships would show you a pretty good blueprint, but instead, they keep going the USA basketball 2002 route.

Just wait for the uncapped year in the NFL.
It'll be just like this except it will be the Patriots, Giants and Cowboys doing this. |

Yes, because I cheer for any team that consistently beats the Yankees.

Man, NY Yankees are going to be STACKED next year. Think if they get Man Ram too.
What is their rotation going to be? CC Sabathia AJ Burnett Chien Ming-Wang Joba Chamberlain and won't they still have Andy Pettite? |

The shicklegrubers didn't build that team, Stick Michael did. he has been brushed to the side and is now a scout. the shickelgrubers will never learn.

I never thought Tex would go to the Red Sox, he had problems with that organization at the beginning of his career and now he is joining their rival it makes sense. The Yanks just did this to make sure he didn't go to the Sox. They have cleared Giambi, Abreu, Moose, Petitte, Pudge, and Pavano. They had a lot of extra cash to spend. At the end of the off-season they will have ended up spending just a little more for this year than they did last year. I just have no idea why they traded for Swisher if they were planning on making a run for Tex.
