rdsx246 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 So, according tohttp://sonsofsimmons.com/mlb/sources-red-s...-teixeira/2008/the Red Sox have made a deal with Mark Teixeira. It is about time we wrapped this thing up. Yes, this web site is a credible source for all of you in denial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this web site is a credible source for all of you in denial.Sorry I don't buy into the credible source from a blog when it states a source tells sonofsimmons. I usually go through MLBtraderumors.com which is more credible. Sorry but i'll see it when it states a more credible source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuvTheNats Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 If true (which I do think will eventually be), that will completely do it for my interest in the MLB....I said it before in another thread...Until they wise up and put a salary cap in place to curb damn near all the league's stars being courted by (and some going to) the Yankess, Red Sox, Mets, and other insanely high payroll teams...Then I want nothing to do with their product....

The Red Sox payroll could be less this year than it was last year -- even with Teixeira. In fact, it probably will be less this year than last. Besides, would you rather these owners pocket all the money? Besides, creating an all-star team is probably the least effective way of building a Championship team.With a salary cap, the Yankees and Red Sox would just find other ways to use their biggest advantage.

spyboy1 Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 I recall the Red Sox saying they were outbid. I think they should therefore be eliminated from any further contact with the player in question. I call it the "No Fake Posturing Rule". Once you call that you're out, you are out. I'm tired of being lied to.This also applies to coaches who get "statements of support" and are then fired. You stand behind your manager, you live with said manager for the remainder of the season.

He means it.actually, let the yankees/red sox/cubs/mets/tigers/dodgers/angels/white sox spend their money. sometimes the return investments isn't what they have hoped. i'd rather have team chemistry than a payroll disaster. on a side note, a further proof of payrolls don't build contenders, in 2008 the Seattle Mariners had the 9th highest payroll at $118million (i've rounded) AND finished last in the AL.

The Marlins GM had it right a few weeks ago when he called out Yanks GM Cashman saying his spending tactics "irresponsible".....And as a result of all this...The Nats will stink for a LONG time....and this is the case for alot of teams...The O's....The Jays...The Pirates....and the list goes on and on....

I'd bet so....It wouldn't -- the Yankees have proven completely incapable of spending their money wisely. I'd honestly be more afraid if the Yankees were handcuffed in regards to the amount of money they could spend and they started investing that money into the players they drafted -- and as a result, the best players in the draft every year fell to the richest teams becase they're the only ones who could justify spending that much money on unproven talent. But that's already kind of the case with some players already.Look, the Yankees and Red Sox are two completely different animals when it comes to spending money.

You stand behind your manager, you live with said manager for the remainder of the season.The Red Sox called Scott Boras' bluff, and not one expert has found an offer that exceeds the one the Sox made. Unless the Red Sox have gone back to the table and made a higher offer, I'm not sure I see your point.The Sox said "We're outbid, we won't be a factor" -- but they weren't outbid to begin with.

mania Posted December 23, 2008 Share Posted December 23, 2008 Let me put it this way, Nats fans, you don't really WANT Teixeira. He's a cancer, who alienates clubhouses and doesn't hit in April. The 20-something million would be much better off going into other hands. Off The Top Rope: A Pro Wrestling Podcast Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
