He's back at it again.

As promised (see below), the Nationals upped their offer today to Teixeira. Did we really think someone wasn't going to come out and continue the bidding? We want the Teixeira signing to happen, but this continues to drag out because teams keep upping their offers. It's Boras at work. He's playing the teams' desires and needs off of them because he has the leverage. People really want Teixeira, and he's a great player. The Nationals, and probably the Orioles soon, want Teixeira to be their "franchise" player (a term I believe that is overrated and trite). Now, let's see if John Henry sticks to his guns or sends Theo out to make another bid.
