perhaps the rest of the of the baseball world will finally realize what I've already known--that what Scott Boras is asking for is absolutely absurd relative to Tex's production.

He is a very good player. But he ain't worth near $200 million.

he's gonna get his money Carl.

This has to just be posturing by the teams. They don't want to be used against one another by Boras.

Boras is one of the smartest idiots I've ever seen. No way Tex is worth that much $$$, but he'll get it b/c some general manager out there is willing to take a chance on him.

I personally don't think that Tex cares to play on a contending team....He's a good hitter, but he rather play for shitty teams like Baltimore or Washington where there's no pressure IMO.

Nevermind that it's been known for years that he wanted to play for the Orioles or Nationals. That's his home and where he wants to go, plus the Nationals offer doesn't hurt them either.
