Same Money, Less Time
The Angels put in their bid on Mark Teixeira, $160 million for seven years. The Nationals offered the same money for eight years. Do the Nationals reduce their years to seven and see how much Teixeira wants to play close to home, or do they increase the money to $183 million for eight years and beat the Angels on both time and money? Maybe they go $180 million for nine years.
