Apparently, the Red Sox have not left the Mark Texieria deal.  As a lot of us have assumed, they are just calling Boras' bluff.  Good for them and possibly bad for the rest of us.  Seriously, screw Boras and bullshit tactics.

"Executives involved in the Teixeira negotiations, however, noted that Red Sox owner John Henry, based on the statement he issued to The Associated Press late Thursday night, did not unequivocally end talks about the first baseman. And executives from other interested teams fully expect the Red Sox to re-engage Scott Boras, the agent for Teixeira."

And no this does not include the very cool MGMT...  I found this on Gammons blog via ESPN:

I think CC really wants to come to LAAA.  Also of note, it seems that Brian Fuentes is now on the Halos radar.  I guess not a whole lot of confidence in our bullpen as it stands tonight.

"Some players have said the Angels have made it clear to CC Sabathia that they'll guarantee him six years, but both sides say it is not true. Sabathia has not turned down the Yankees, either. He has offers from the Brewers, Angels and Red Sox, and the Giants have made it clear they will be in the bidding in certain circumstances. "Nothing," says a source close to Sabathia, "is different than it was a week ago."

Found this random take from Steve Bisheff's blog on 710 ESPN.  Despite his random "Hacksaw" Hamilton haircut and the ridiculous looking gotee, Bisheff had this to say about Mark Teixeira, Scott Boras, and the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, with a little Manny thrown in:

"Listening to Scott Boras on several radio shows yesterday, I got the impression he and Manny Ramirez will definitely wait until all the bids are in before deciding on his future. But it sounded as if Mark Teixeira, another Boras client, would be very open to a fair Angels' offer . . ."
