Sox have no real ability to counter the Yankees' off-season moves. Sign D-Lowe? Going to be a tight AL East next year.

The Yankees swooped in on Teixeira on Tuesday when it was believed the Boston Red Sox <http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=bos> or the Washington Nationals <http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/clubhouse?team=was> 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. Teixeira finished last season with the Los Angeles Angels following a trade from Atlanta. The Angels withdrew from negotiations on Sunday night, in a very public manner, and say they were moving on to other players. Teixeira had made it clear that he wanted to make a decision on where to play next season and beyond by Christmas. -- Check out Geek Haiku: www.geekhaiku.net I twitter daily but I have no followers do I make a sound? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Red Sox Citizens" group.
