Report : Red Sox offer Teixeira $200 million
December 15th , 2008 , 7 : 35 am
Dan Patrick <m> reported </m> on his show on AM 570 that the Boston Red Sox have made first baseman Mark Teixeira an eight - year , $200 million offer .
If so , that blows the reported eight - year , $160 million offers by the Angels and the Washington Nationals out of the water .
Patrick said Monday morning : "If it's true they're offering $200 million to a career . 290 hitter , it'll be interesting to see what the Angels do . "
He then speculated the Angels might turn their interest to Manny Ramirez .
The Boston Herald's Michael Silverman wrote in his Monday column the Red Sox offer was expected to be in the range of $145 million to $175 million , possibly more .
He also noted that it is rare for Boston to extend contracts to players that go to their 36th birthdays , with the exceptions of Jason Varitek's just - expired deal and Mike Lowell's contract .
Teixeira will be 29 in April . |

Red Sox extend offer to Teixeira
<m> Boston </m> reportedly looks to ink free - agent slugger for eight years
12 / 16 / 08 1 : 30 AM EST
Though the Red Sox continue to operate in intriguing secrecy when it comes to their pursuit of free - agent slugger Mark Teixeira , it appears an offer has been transmitted from the offices of 4 Yawkey Way in Boston to the corporation of power agent Scott Boras in Southern California .
The Boston Herald reported in its Tuesday editions that the Red Sox have extended an offer for Teixeira , believed to be the longest and richest in the seven - year history of the ownership group led by John W . Henry .
Though the newspaper doesn't cite its source , it stated that the offer is "believed to be for at least eight years . "
The Red Sox have a club policy of not commenting on their negotiating stance with any free agents .
Last week at the Winter Meetings , the Washington Nationals made Teixeira an eight - year , $160 million offer .
Angels general manager Tony Reagins recently confirmed that his club had also made an eight - year offer .
The Orioles , according to reports , have offered Teixeira a seven - year deal worth between $140 million and $150 million .
As for the Red Sox , GM Theo Epstein hasn't so much as uttered Teixeira's name in any interviews with media members this offseason .
That has always been the way Epstein conducts his business , and it's why you won't hear any public comments from the Red Sox regarding Teixeira until he either signs with Boston or goes somewhere else .
"We're being aggressive , really aggressive on players that we like , " Epstein said last week .
The two biggest investments the Red Sox have made under current ownership ?
A $103 . 1 million sum - - including the $51 . 1 million posting fee - - to Daisuke Matsuzaka over six seasons and a five - year , $70 million contract for J . D . Drew .
Though breaking the bank in free agency isn't typically the way the Red Sox go about their Hot Stove business , they feel that Teixeira - - who will turn 29 in April - - could be the centerpiece of their lineup for the better part of a decade .
The switch - hitter does everything the Red Sox like , from getting on base to hitting for power to playing terrific defense at first base .
Epstein was asked at the Winter Meetings if the Red Sox could sign a marquee free agent this winter .
"I think there's a chance of it , " he said .
"There's definitely a chance that we don't .
I can't tell you which [ answer ] , eight , 10 , 12 years from now would have been better for the organization .
But players that we like and think can help us , we're going to try to sign to numbers that we think are reasonable and help us going forward and help us with our foundation .
If we get them , great .
If we don't , then we'll move on . "
The Yankees , Boston's top rival , have already made a loud statement this winter , agreeing to terms with starters CC Sabathia and A . J . Burnett .
Though Epstein never likes to act as if he is counteracting the Yankees , Teixeira would clearly give Boston's lineup a more dynamic look .
There have been conflicting reports as to whether the Yankees have interest in Teixeira .
When Boras spoke at the Winter Meetings , he didn't sound as if he was in any rush to close the Teixeira deal .
Back in November , while attending a Georgia Tech football game , Teixeira told ESPN that he'd like to sign by Christmas .
If the Red Sox are successful in landing Teixeira , it will create a somewhat sticky situation .
The Red Sox have Kevin Youkilis at first base and Mike Lowell at third .
To open a spot for Teixeira , the Red Sox might have to trade Lowell and move Youkilis across the diamond .
However , Lowell , coming off right hip surgery , is likely to have to prove his health in Spring Training if he is to be dealt .
Last winter the Red Sox re - signed Lowell , the Most Valuable Player of the 2007 World Series , to a three - year , $37 . 5 million contract .
The Red Sox control Youkilis contractually for the next two years , so it's highly doubtful he would be moved .
Youkilis finished third in the American League Most Valuable Player voting in November .
David Ortiz , Boston's star designated hitter , is a 10 - 5 man ( 10 years in the Majors , five with the same team ) , meaning he could veto any trade . |

Red Sox extend offer to Teixeira
Boston reportedly looks to <m> ink </m> free - agent slugger for eight years
12 / 16 / 08 1 : 30 AM EST
Though the Red Sox continue to operate in intriguing secrecy when it comes to their pursuit of free - agent slugger Mark Teixeira , it appears an offer has been transmitted from the offices of 4 Yawkey Way in Boston to the corporation of power agent Scott Boras in Southern California .
The Boston Herald reported in its Tuesday editions that the Red Sox have extended an offer for Teixeira , believed to be the longest and richest in the seven - year history of the ownership group led by John W . Henry .
Though the newspaper doesn't cite its source , it stated that the offer is "believed to be for at least eight years . "
The Red Sox have a club policy of not commenting on their negotiating stance with any free agents .
Last week at the Winter Meetings , the Washington Nationals made Teixeira an eight - year , $160 million offer .
Angels general manager Tony Reagins recently confirmed that his club had also made an eight - year offer .
The Orioles , according to reports , have offered Teixeira a seven - year deal worth between $140 million and $150 million .
As for the Red Sox , GM Theo Epstein hasn't so much as uttered Teixeira's name in any interviews with media members this offseason .
That has always been the way Epstein conducts his business , and it's why you won't hear any public comments from the Red Sox regarding Teixeira until he either signs with Boston or goes somewhere else .
"We're being aggressive , really aggressive on players that we like , " Epstein said last week .
The two biggest investments the Red Sox have made under current ownership ?
A $103 . 1 million sum - - including the $51 . 1 million posting fee - - to Daisuke Matsuzaka over six seasons and a five - year , $70 million contract for J . D . Drew .
Though breaking the bank in free agency isn't typically the way the Red Sox go about their Hot Stove business , they feel that Teixeira - - who will turn 29 in April - - could be the centerpiece of their lineup for the better part of a decade .
The switch - hitter does everything the Red Sox like , from getting on base to hitting for power to playing terrific defense at first base .
Epstein was asked at the Winter Meetings if the Red Sox could sign a marquee free agent this winter .
"I think there's a chance of it , " he said .
"There's definitely a chance that we don't .
I can't tell you which [ answer ] , eight , 10 , 12 years from now would have been better for the organization .
But players that we like and think can help us , we're going to try to sign to numbers that we think are reasonable and help us going forward and help us with our foundation .
If we get them , great .
If we don't , then we'll move on . "
The Yankees , Boston's top rival , have already made a loud statement this winter , agreeing to terms with starters CC Sabathia and A . J . Burnett .
Though Epstein never likes to act as if he is counteracting the Yankees , Teixeira would clearly give Boston's lineup a more dynamic look .
There have been conflicting reports as to whether the Yankees have interest in Teixeira .
When Boras spoke at the Winter Meetings , he didn't sound as if he was in any rush to close the Teixeira deal .
Back in November , while attending a Georgia Tech football game , Teixeira told ESPN that he'd like to sign by Christmas .
If the Red Sox are successful in landing Teixeira , it will create a somewhat sticky situation .
The Red Sox have Kevin Youkilis at first base and Mike Lowell at third .
To open a spot for Teixeira , the Red Sox might have to trade Lowell and move Youkilis across the diamond .
However , Lowell , coming off right hip surgery , is likely to have to prove his health in Spring Training if he is to be dealt .
Last winter the Red Sox re - signed Lowell , the Most Valuable Player of the 2007 World Series , to a three - year , $37 . 5 million contract .
The Red Sox control Youkilis contractually for the next two years , so it's highly doubtful he would be moved .
Youkilis finished third in the American League Most Valuable Player voting in November .

<m> Herald </m> : Sox Make Offer To Teixeira ( 8 Years ? )
Michael Silverman reports that the Red Sox
have made an offer [ for Mark Teixeira ] , the biggest and longest yet for this current ownership group .
The offer is believed to be for at least eight years . . .
Teixeira is believed to be seeking an average annual value of more than the $21 million that left - hander CC Sabathia is close to finalizing with the New York Yankees for the next seven years , and a lot closer to the $27 . 5 million that third baseman Alex Rodriguez is guaranteed to make through 2017 with the Yankees . . . .
There is every indication that the Red Sox view Teixiera in the same "must - have" light as they did Matsuzaka .
MLB's Ian Browne notes the sticky situation that would arise with only two infield positions for Teixeira , Mike Lowell and Kevin Youkilis . |

Boston Red Sox majority owner John W . Henry , CEO Larry Lucchino and general manager Theo Epstein flew to Texas on Thursday night to meet with free agent Mark Teixeira and his agent , Scott Boras , in an effort to convince the switch - hitting first baseman to sign with Boston .
The <m> Red Sox </m> have made an eight - year offer to Teixeira in excess of $160 million , but sources close to the negotiations say it is less than the $184 million reported by Boston WCVB sportscaster Mike Lynch , who first reported that the meeting would take place .
The meeting will not result in a “ take it or leave it ” scenario by the Red Sox , a source said .
However , Henry said earlier this week that the Red Sox will not satisfy Boras ’ request for a 10 - year deal , and it appears highly unlikely that Boston will go beyond eight years .
The parties are meeting at an undisclosed location in Texas , the Red Sox having requested the face - to - face meeting with the player so he can hear directly from them why they believe he should spend the next eight years in Boston .
The Los Angeles Angels , Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals also have made offers to Teixeira , but to date none of those offers are believed to be for more than eight years .
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman also met with Teixeira earlier this month , but that was before the Yankees committed more than $240 million to sign pitchers CC Sabathia and A . J . Burnett , so it appears unlikely they would make a grab for Teixeira as well .
Boras also represents free - agent catcher Jason Varitek , the Red Sox captain who declined an offer of salary arbitration from the team .
Boston has not made another offer to Varitek since , though the sides continue to talk .
A third Boras client , free - agent pitcher Derek Lowe , also is of interest to the Red Sox , but they have not made him an offer and are expected to do so only if he drops his price .
Lowe is believed to be seeking a five - year deal in the $75 million range .
Teixeira , who turns 29 on April 11 , has averaged more than 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in his six big - league seasons , while posting a . 919 OPS and playing Gold Glove - caliber defense .
The Red Sox envision him as a middle - of - the - lineup presence to offset last July ’ s departure of Manny Ramirez to the Dodgers .
If Teixeira signs with the Red Sox , they would move All - Star Kevin Youkilis from first to third base while looking to trade third baseman Mike Lowell , the 2007 World Series MVP . |

Boston Red Sox majority owner John W . Henry , CEO Larry Lucchino and general manager Theo Epstein flew to Texas on Thursday night to meet with free agent Mark Teixeira and his agent , Scott Boras , in an effort to convince the switch - hitting first baseman to sign with Boston .
The Red Sox have made an eight - year offer to Teixeira in excess of $160 million , but sources close to the negotiations say it is less than the $184 million reported by Boston WCVB sportscaster <m> Mike Lynch </m> , who first reported that the meeting would take place .
The meeting will not result in a “ take it or leave it ” scenario by the Red Sox , a source said .
However , Henry said earlier this week that the Red Sox will not satisfy Boras ’ request for a 10 - year deal , and it appears highly unlikely that Boston will go beyond eight years .
The parties are meeting at an undisclosed location in Texas , the Red Sox having requested the face - to - face meeting with the player so he can hear directly from them why they believe he should spend the next eight years in Boston .
The Los Angeles Angels , Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals also have made offers to Teixeira , but to date none of those offers are believed to be for more than eight years .
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman also met with Teixeira earlier this month , but that was before the Yankees committed more than $240 million to sign pitchers CC Sabathia and A . J . Burnett , so it appears unlikely they would make a grab for Teixeira as well .
Boras also represents free - agent catcher Jason Varitek , the Red Sox captain who declined an offer of salary arbitration from the team .
Boston has not made another offer to Varitek since , though the sides continue to talk .
A third Boras client , free - agent pitcher Derek Lowe , also is of interest to the Red Sox , but they have not made him an offer and are expected to do so only if he drops his price .
Lowe is believed to be seeking a five - year deal in the $75 million range .
Teixeira , who turns 29 on April 11 , has averaged more than 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in his six big - league seasons , while posting a . 919 OPS and playing Gold Glove - caliber defense .

Boston Red Sox majority owner John W . Henry , CEO Larry Lucchino and general manager Theo Epstein flew to Texas on Thursday night to meet with free agent Mark Teixeira and his agent , Scott Boras , in an effort to convince the switch - hitting first baseman to sign with Boston .
The Red Sox have made an eight - year offer to Teixeira in excess of $160 million , but sources close to the negotiations say it is less than the $184 million <m> reported </m> by Boston WCVB sportscaster Mike Lynch , who first reported that the meeting would take place .
The meeting will not result in a “ take it or leave it ” scenario by the Red Sox , a source said .
However , Henry said earlier this week that the Red Sox will not satisfy Boras ’ request for a 10 - year deal , and it appears highly unlikely that Boston will go beyond eight years .
The parties are meeting at an undisclosed location in Texas , the Red Sox having requested the face - to - face meeting with the player so he can hear directly from them why they believe he should spend the next eight years in Boston .
The Los Angeles Angels , Baltimore Orioles and Washington Nationals also have made offers to Teixeira , but to date none of those offers are believed to be for more than eight years .
Yankees general manager Brian Cashman also met with Teixeira earlier this month , but that was before the Yankees committed more than $240 million to sign pitchers CC Sabathia and A . J . Burnett , so it appears unlikely they would make a grab for Teixeira as well .
Boras also represents free - agent catcher Jason Varitek , the Red Sox captain who declined an offer of salary arbitration from the team .
Boston has not made another offer to Varitek since , though the sides continue to talk .
A third Boras client , free - agent pitcher Derek Lowe , also is of interest to the Red Sox , but they have not made him an offer and are expected to do so only if he drops his price .
Lowe is believed to be seeking a five - year deal in the $75 million range .
Teixeira , who turns 29 on April 11 , has averaged more than 30 home runs and 100 RBIs in his six big - league seasons , while posting a . 919 OPS and playing Gold Glove - caliber defense .

While the numbers are n't confirmed , the deal is believed to be an offer of eight years and around $ 160 million .
Owner Arte Moreno flew from his Arizona home to Las Vegas on Tuesday and met personally with Scott Boras , the agent for Teixeira .
Angels spokesman Tim Mead said he believed Moreno presented the offer to Boras at that time .
Mead also said he did not know when the offer might expire .
The Angels , of course , are one of four teams that are known to be pursuing Teixeira .
The Nationals offered him the same deal as the Angels , the Orioles have made an offer between $ 140 and $ 150 million over seven years , and nobody knows for sure what the Red Sox have offered .
I 'm pretty sure the Red Sox offer will be the only one the Angels have to compete with because even though the Nationals and Orioles are close to Teixeira 's home , neither have any realistic expectation of competing for a World Series next season , with or without Teixeira .

REPORT : RED SOX MAKE HUGE OFFER TO TEIXEIRA
on Tuesday , 16 December 2008 13 : 45 .
The Boston Red Sox have <m> made </m> the biggest offer in club history to Mark Teixeira .
The deal is said to be for 8 year and could be up to $180 million .
With the economy going down and ticket prices frozen you have to wonder how the Red Sox plan on making this kind of committment for the long term .
Does this mean they will not be able to get that big free agent next year or the year after that ?

Los Angeles general manager Tony Reagins has sounded like a broken record saying that resigning <m> Teixeira </m> was his top priority , and backed that up now with an eight-year offer .
No dollar figures have been released with the offer , but the seven-year offers for Teixeira were in the $ 140 million to $ 160 million range and the new offer is expected to be at the top of that range .
If accepted , this would certainly be the largest contract in the Angels history , dwarfing the four-year , $ 90 million deal that Torii Hunter got just last summer .
But if he keeps mashing like he did after the trade , Teixeira could be worth the bank .
In 54 games with the Angeles he hit .358 with 13 home runs and 43 RBIs , and had a slugging percentage of .632 .
The two-time Gold Glove winner also helped solidify the Angeles infield .
After the Winter Meetings , the conventional wisdom was that the Red Sox were the frontrunners for Teixeira 's services , even though they met privately and their offer was never made public ( maybe that 's why people thought they were the leaders ) .
However , no other offer ( including from the Nationals and Oriels trying to bring Teixeira back to his native Maryland ) was thought to be more than seven years .
The race for Teixeira seems to be in the final furlong .
But then again , Boras is a patient man , especially if he thinks more money could be around the corner . |

Red Sox to break bank for Teixeira
Here's a prediction : By the time this is over , win or lose , the Red Sox effectively will have made Mark Teixeira the largest contract offer in the history of your storied <m> franchise </m> .
When the Sox want something enough , they make sure they get it .
In the case of Teixeira , rest assured that the Sox want him , no matter what games are being played by club officials .
Publicly and privately , the Sox are saying nothing about their interest in Teixeira and playing dumb every time his name comes up .
It's as sure a sign as any that they are preparing to go to extraordinary lengths .
what the Red Sox truly fear here is that the Yankees can outbid them on Teixeira , explaining why the Sox have failed to confirm any interest in the player at all .
With the possible exception of the New York Mets , who just exercised their contract option on first baseman Carlos Delgado , the Yankees are the only team in baseball who could outbid the Red Sox for Teixeira's services .
The Yankees could do it in a big way , too , giving Teixeira the kind of money that would put him in the clouds with Alex Rodriguez . |

Teixeira not headed to Boston
Can you believe it ?
I can ’ t .
Yet it ’ s coming from up top .
Red Sox owner John Henry has said , in so many words , that his <m> team </m> will not sign Mark Teixeira .
His exact words :
“ We met with Mr . Teixeira and were very much impressed with him .
After hearing about his other offers , however , it seems clear that we are not going to be a factor . ”
You can follow the entire saga on MLB Trade Rumors .
No one expected this , at least not this soon .
The Red Sox , the team so many considered the frontrunners for Teixeira , will , in the words of the owner himself , not be factors .
It appears , from Henry ’ s words , the price tag is a bit too high .
Reports of the Red Sox offer varied , though WCVB - TV claims it was eight years and $184 million , or a $23 million average annual value .
Boston could obviously jump back into the picture , but for now it appears they ’ ll let the first baseman sign elsewhere .
Clearly , I expect a flurry of “ now the Yankees have to get him ” comments .
Think about this , though .
There ’ s at least one offer out there better than eight years and $184 million .
Should the Yankees go higher than $25 million a season for Teixeira ? |

Yet it ’ s coming from up top .
Red Sox owner John Henry has <m> said </m> , in so many words , that his team will not sign Mark Teixeira .
His exact words :
“ We met with Mr . Teixeira and were very much impressed with him .
After hearing about his other offers , however , it seems clear that we are not going to be a factor . ”
You can follow the entire saga on MLB Trade Rumors .
No one expected this , at least not this soon .
The Red Sox , the team so many considered the frontrunners for Teixeira , will , in the words of the owner himself , not be factors .
It appears , from Henry ’ s words , the price tag is a bit too high .
Reports of the Red Sox offer varied , though WCVB - TV claims it was eight years and $184 million , or a $23 million average annual value .
Boston could obviously jump back into the picture , but for now it appears they ’ ll let the first baseman sign elsewhere .
Clearly , I expect a flurry of “ now the Yankees have to get him ” comments .
Think about this , though .
There ’ s at least one offer out there better than eight years and $184 million .
Should the Yankees go higher than $25 million a season for Teixeira ? |
