We are all sick of the reports, but I feel like I have an obligation to move this information along, so without comment here is what the Globe is saying:
"Has Mark Teixeira's day of decision finally arrived? Reports are starting to trickle out that free-agent slugger will announce his destination today, and at least one suggests the Red Sox will win the sweepstakes.
The Washington Times website reported early this afternoon that a major league baseball source told reporter Thom Loverro that there will be announcement today regarding the 28-year-old Teixeira's future.
The Globe's Nick Cafardo reports that league sources told him that the Nationals and Red Sox appear to be the finalists, pending a last-minute offer from the Yankees.
Cafardo says the Nationals are now offering nine years at $180 million, while the Red Sox have apparently not altered their offer of eight years at approximately $170 million. While the Red Sox' offer is at a higher annual value, the Nationals' offer of an extra year could be a factor (Boston Globe/Chad Finn)."
"Jon Heyman says the Yankees are still in it - they're "talking seriously with Teixeira's people." He agrees that a decision could be made as soon as this afternoon.... **UPDATE** Heyman now has the Yanks in "deep discussions" with Tex; he says they've stepped up their efforts in recent hours.
(Sportsline).
I don't know to believe, but that is the latest, so hopefully this will all end in the next 24 hours.
