Scott Boras called the Yankees about Mark Teixeira:

The Yankees do not have an offer on the table for Teixeira, and Boras apparently called the Yankees telling them what it would cost to land Teixeira. According to my source, that number was $22-23 million a year over eight years for a total of $180-185 million. The Yankees are still debating that, and there are some in the organization who want to do it, but they appear to be leaning against making an offer.

This could be an interesting game of passive chicken between the Yankees and Red Sox. With neither of them bidding at this point, the Nationals and Angels can keep their prices low (if $20 million a year is low). Then, we'll see if one of the two big rivals blinks at the last minute and tries to land Mark. At that point, they may be able to obtain his services for $21 million a year.
