    Speculation has him signing somewhere this week. Where do you think it will be?

    Just something to keep in mind, but the Red Sox had reportedly "backed out" as well, before reportedly getting back into it.

    Ah indeed. But this time Yahoo! said they pulled the offer. Different words means different things?

    Tex is someone I can't honestly place where he is going to go. But I still think it's Nats or Sox because he said he wants to play East Coast and the Angels are the opposite of East...

    I'm hoping that the Angels still sign him. It sounds like the asking price has become too high, slightly... I think that Scotty probably overshot the mark.

    I do think its the Angels. After the whole "CC wants to play in the NL in CA" I'm not sure if I'm 100% that he will end up playing where he wants to so I'll just go with the Angels. I'm not really sure where he's gonna end up though.

    Surprised that Washington's in the lead in this poll.

    I only voted Washington because that is what I want if it is not Boston. However, it could happen. Realistically, I would say Boston.

    Considering the question is where do you think he WILL sign....not where you WANT him to...Boston should be your answer

    whoever gets him is overpaying by a decent margin, in my opinion

    Re: Mark Teixeira

    That's why the Angels have "backed out", is what it's looking like to me. Same with the Red Sox.

    It looks more and more like the Sox really, It seems like Boras just kept telling everyone "nope we got a better offer" till everyone backed out -- now he can just go back pick the best offer of the teams that backed out.

    Which looks like the Sox 8/175ish deal.
