Memo to Mark Teixeira you aren't ARod, you aren't Jeter and hell you aren't even Manny. So in the immortal words of The Rock:
That isn't quite The Rock, but you get my drift. Stop playing around before you end up losing more money than you gain. Tell Scott Boras to stop playing around with your future and get the deal done. We are in a recession and while I understand getting every dollar you can I think 170 million is enough (reportedly what the Red Sox are offering).
You are a very good baseball player, but you aren't a superstar. If you weren't playing this cat and mouse game the majority of casual sports fans wouldn't even know who you are. Right now they are just think you are another pompous overpaid athlete who is trying to bleed every penny that he can out of a contract he doesn't deserve.
Is that how you want to be remembered Mark? Because that is the perception right now that you are nothing more than a pawn to your money grubbing agent.
Do us all a favor be a man take control of the situation and get it done. You already know where you want to go so stop playing games like a Stripper at a Pacman Jones house party. Be a man, sign a contract and give some back to the community.
Where is my money Papi?
