Teixeira To The Red Sox? Yay Or Nay?
Oriole Post - Baltimore Orioles Analysis & News; The World of Baseball and Beyond —
With the Yankees having signed IF-OF Nick Swisher, it looks like they are out of the running for Mark Teixeira -- at least for now (however, I think they are still players in the whole sweepstakes.) Aside from obviously Baltimore and Washington, the only other team that I have heard give any interest to the slugger are Boston and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Today, Buster Olney in his blog on ESPN.com & Sean McAdam of the Boston Herald ponder if the Red Sox are really serious in their pursuit of Teixeira, and I have to think they kind of are -- in a sense. While they could use his in the middle of the lineup -- I don't ...
Buster on Peavy, Yanks
It's About The Money - A New York Yankees Blog —
If you believe Buster, and I happen to like most of his stuff --neutral site for World Series notwithstanding--, here's his take on Peavy and the Yanks: The past conversations between the Padres and the Yankees about Jake Peavy never developed into anything that close to being serious, sources say, and it's highly unlikely the Padres and Yankees will ever get serious about a Peavy deal. The Yankees are focused almost entirely on adding pitching through free agency, because they won't have to part with their prospects in a deal. CC Sabathia, Derek Lowe and A.J. Burnett are the Yankees' targets, and not Peavy. So, in ...
