RBI Magazine has learned that the Red Sox made a drastic attempt to sign Mark Teixeira yesterday morning in Texas. Red Sox officials boarded a plane and flew to meet with Teixeira and his agent Scott Boras.
According to MLB.com, during the meeting Red Sox officials examined the other possible deals that Teixeira was previously offered by the other teams still hunting for the switch-hitter’s services.
Red Sox principal owner John Henry decided that these offers could not be matched saying “No Way!” to Scott Boras and Mark Teixeira dropping all potential offers and the idea of Teixeira becoming part of the Red Sox organization.
Other teams said to be interested in the first-baseman are the Washington Nationals, Baltimore Orioles and the Los Angeles Angels.
Update 9:22 EST: Teixeira and his agent Scott Boras are seeking $195 million contract. Is he really worth this much? RBI Magazine says NO WAY!
