Teixeira to the Red Sox?
Sons of Bill Simmons get the scoop on the Red Sox reaching a deal with Mark Teixeira. We'll see if this one works out better than the last one.
I'm sticking by my original statement. I still think the best fit for Teixeira and a Team is Boston. Teixeira would go into a wining situation where he doesn't have to be the man and he also provides protection for Ortiz which Boston has been missing since they traded Manny: http://www.ontheblack.com/2008/12/15/teixeira-should-go-to-boston/
If he does sign with Boston that would give Boston a pretty tough 2-7 with Pedroia, Ortiz, Tex, Youk, Bay and Drew. That could give a lot of guys some long days on the mound.
