Mark Teixeira

From Boston.com:
A general manager of one of the five teams involved in the Mark Teixeira talks said this morning that in his opinion if the talks ended right now, Boston would land the coveted free-agent first baseman.
“I think they’re in the lead and ahead of where everyone else is right now,” he said. “I’m not sure who’s bidding against them at this point.”
Asked whether he thought the talks would end soon, the GM said, “You just never know where Scott Boras and the Red Sox are involved.”
From Curt Schilling:
The trump card though, for me anyway, is that Boston offers something far beyond what any team or city can hope to bring to the table. It’s a new age here, there are completely different expectations each year for the Red Sox, and from Sox Nation. I can’t imagine not having experienced this city, the fans, the ballpark, as a hometown player prior to my last year (if this is fact my last one).
