Washington Nationals Up Offer For Teixeira
December 23, 2008 by Mike
From MASN Sports:
According to multiple sources, the Washington Nationals have sweetened their proposal to first baseman Mark Teixeira, offering him an eight-year deal worth $178 to $184 million.
The Nats were believed to have an eight-year, $160 million offer on the table. They apparently have increased the total value, putting them ahead of the other contenders, based on the numbers that have been reported.
I’m also told that they’re willing to go nine years – and there’s been talk of 10 – which could be one reason why agent Scott Boras is dragging along negotiations. He’s also trying to get the Red Sox back in the game and see if the Yankees and Orioles will react.
- We still standby our sources who have confirmed to us that the Red Sox and Teixeira have agreed in principle to an eight-year deal.
