    Nats now up to 15? That's a lot of sucking up and I still haven't heard a solid reason why anyone thinks it will happen.

    Nationals Journal could be full of shit, but this is a cut and paste from there. Looks as if Boston is the winner:

    Sox Closing In On Teixeira?
    Reports out of Boston right now indicate that the Red Sox are trying to put all the Teixeira negotiations to rest, perhaps wrapping up a deal by tonight or Friday morning.

    According to WCVB-TV in Boston, the Red Sox top management -- including owner John Henry and General Manager Theo Epstein -- has traveled to Texas to meet with Boras in an attempt to work out a deal. According to the television station, the Red Sox were ready to offer an eight-year, $184-million contract.

    Red Sox are out.

    - URGENT
    ---- Red Sox officials in Texas for Teixeira talks
    ---- BOSTON (AP) – The Boston Red Sox have been outbid for free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira and "are not going to be a factor" in acquiring him, owner John Henry said in an e-mail on Thursday night.
    ---- "We met with Mr. Teixeira and were very much impressed with him," Henry said. "After hearing about his other offers, however, it seems clear that we are not going to be a factor."
    ---- Boston Red Sox officials were in Texas on Thursday for talks with agent Scott Boras in an attempt to reach an agreement

    John Henry says the Red Sox have been outbid for Teixiera and are no longer a factor.

    BOSTON (AP) — The Boston Red Sox have been outbid for free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira and “are not going to be a factor” in acquiring him, owner John Henry said in an e-mail on Thursday night.
    “We met with Mr. Teixeira and were very much impressed with him,” Henry said. “After hearing about his other offers, however, it seems clear that we are not going to be a factor.”

    EDIT: Must be an echo in here

    So which team went past the $200 million barrier? Yankees? Nats? Angels?

    No one is going to $200 million. And the Yankees are not in this one, although they should be
