Around SBN: Chan Sung Jung Wins Thriller Over Dustin Poirier

Red Sox offer 8 yrs/200mil for Teixeira

Take this with a grain of salt definetly. MLB Trade Rumors is reporting it. Some guy heard Dan Patrick say this on his radio show.

You know, now that I think about it. If I really wanted a ton of people to come to my blog, I would do this same sort of thing. Take what you want from the link.

Not true.

MLBTR later stated that it was a misunderstanding. The radio commentator was offering a hypothetical situation in which the Sox would give Tex that offer.

While we’re on the subject, is that offer realistic? What do you think he will eventually sign for? I think he will get 8 years, $180mil. ($22.5MM AAV)

It depends on how desperate the MFY are

I could see them offering 8/$200M if they think the alternative is a lineup with Pedroia, Papi, Tex, Youk, and Bay for the next several years.

Yeah. That would be hilarious is they were that desperate.

This is true and will be true. The Sox

have no choice to sign Teixeira.
