Boston bigwigs are going to have a sit-down with CC Sabathia and his agent this week. I wouldn't get too worried (I personally don't want him) because I think this is mainly just a maneuver to drive up the price for the Yankees and Angels. If both of those teams throw $150 mil at Sabathia then it seems doubtful they'll do the same thing for Mark Teixiera. That equals one less team in the race for Teixiera's services and a better chance for the Red Sox to scoop him up.
Makes perfect sense to me.
