Now the Yanks can sign Manny and commit a full half-billion dollars in one off-season. Recession? We don't need no stinkin' recession! Of course, had GM/Utter Moron Dan Duquette not completely screwed up the Teixeira negotiation 10 years ago, this would never have happened. Anyhow, I'm not too upset. The Yankee outfield is still Nady/Melky/Swisher -- with Damon and Matsui as DH/DL candidates. That's not exactly scary. -- Matt

The Yankees swooped in on Teixeira on Tuesday when it was believed the Boston Red Sox or the Washington Nationals 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.
