Boras: I’ve got offers for Teixeira

While the Angels have not made an offer to Mark Teixeira, his agent says other teams have.

“We’ve received a number of offers,” agent Scott Boras said.

Boras would not say which teams had extended offers, or even how many. He characterized the offers as bids Teixeira had the right to accept, as opposed to informal discussions about contract parameters without firm offers attached.

He declined to set a timetable for Teixeira’s decision.

Boras negotiation skills are so good, he was able to convince the Dodgers that Andruw Jones was worth $38 million to them.

I fail to recall any saberheads decrying Andruw as a bad signing at the time.
The prevailing feeling was that he was going to bounce back from a bad season at Atlanta.

There was also the feeling that a team couldn't get that badly burnt on a two year deal.

Fellows, fellows, why the snark? Zero is "a number."

Is that five year/$75 million offer still on the table for Kevin Millwood?

Best Regards

Why would any owner believe anything out of his mouth, including hello.
