NEW YORK (AP) -- The Boston Red Sox have been outbid for free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira. Red Sox owner John Henry says the team will "not be a factor" in acquiring him.
That would appear to leave the L.A. Angels and Washington Nationals left bidding for what may be close to a $200 million offer for the 28-year-old first baseman.
Teixeira hit .308 with 33 homers and 121 RBIs last season, including .358 with 13 homers and 43 RBIs in 54 games with the Angels.
