Mark Teixeira reportedly set to sign with Yankees
Various news organizations are reporting that Mark Teixeira is about to sign a long-term deal with the New York Yankees. Jon Heyman of SI.com is reporting they have agreed on an eight-year deal worth $180 million.
The Angels had offered an eight-year deal worth about $160 million, but took that off the table when they got no specific counteroffers from Teixeira's agent, Scott Boras.

You see what's happened to the press here? I'm copping the LA Times' story, which is citing Sports Illustrated and "various news organizations". Where's the source of this news? Was it Steve, per chance? Steve ...

I don't understand your headline. What do the Nats and the BoSox have to do with this? Were the BoSox trying to get Texarcana but the Nats interrupted their siren song with some bullshit, then the Yankees swooped in during the confusion and won the day? Why does the SI article only mention the Angels, but not the Nats or the BoSox? Why doesn't your headline mention the Angels? I do like the inside rhyme of BoSox and cockblocked, but then when you use "dance" as an adjective, then a verb, then a noun ... I don't know. It would be SWEET if you just punched it up a little:
Nats Cockblock BoSox as Silk Hanky Yankees Take Tumultuous Teixeira Tango. (Angels also involved.)
I mean, how about some editorial standards I say.
Flapcrap
Go write something of your own, then we'll talk.
Defensive much?
