If you’re anxiously awaiting the baseball pre-season, then look no further than MLB.com for all your best news, and StubHub.com for all your best tickets!
MLB.com answers your burning questions as today marks the official start of the free agent “frenzy” — everything from who will be signed first (the major battle between Manny Ramirez, CC Sabathia or Mark Teixeira), whether the Yankees are choosing Swisher over Teixeira and so much more!
Let’s break this down:
-Agent Scott Boras is used to waiting until the end to get what he waits, and for his clients Ramirez and Teixeira, he won’t have to wait long to see that these men get the deal they deserve. Sabathia has already been offered five years and $100 million dollars from the Brewers, but since the Yankees were pulling him as their biggest hitter, they could easily top off that $100 mil for something a bit more and have him in the bag. The other two, as Boras is known for waiting for the best possible deal (he worked with Jarrod Washburn), Ramirez and Teixeira are still on hold.
-Though the Yankees are looking to pick up Nick Swisher, they still want Teixeira — as one of the most highly rated clubs in the nation, it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the New York team can easily afford both all star players, with a few million to spare.
Other topics on the MLB’s website include which positions are the weakest positions in the free-agent market, along with the best; which specific players are going to be lost in the market this season and which will be pleasantly surprised, along with the club team that is this years Wild Card.
