In the race to sign Mark Teixeira, the Yankees are turning up the heat.

The Yankees are in deep discussions with Teixeira, in what is now an attempt to beat out the rival Red Sox for Teixeira's services. The Teixeira sweepstakes is considered to be a three-team battle with the Nationals still involved. However, the Yankees' talks have turned serious in recent hours, as the team appears to be stepping up its attempts to lure the free-agent slugger to New York.

The Red Sox remain hopeful to sign Teixeira, who hit .308 with 33 home runs and 121 RBIs in 2008, as a middle-of-the order hitter to replace Manny Ramirez.

This just in, breaking news! Early reports indicate that Mark Teixeira had a sausage mcmuffin for breakfast, and he's considering going for a jog before lunchtime!

December 23, 2008  02:11 PM ET

Heyman, please. Just let us know when he actually signs with someone. Jeez. We don't need a play-by-play, especially when there is nothing to report!

December 23, 2008  02:11 PM ET

#1! why not just report when he signs!?!

December 23, 2008  02:11 PM ET

Sox sign Teixeira for 8 years 187 mil. Nationals offered 8 years 184 mil with an option for a 9th year. Boras and Teixeira accepted Sox offer.

December 23, 2008  02:14 PM ET

Awesome, did Boras call you?

December 23, 2008  02:14 PM ET

the yankees are just a smoke screen and serisouly who would want to play for the nationals... he will be signing with the red sox. no doubt about it. the yankees will t hen go out and sign manny ramirez and be happy with it. this will be a battle in the AL East in 2009. Can't wait for it!!!

December 23, 2008  02:14 PM ET

Must be nice for Boras to have a shill like Heyman to artificially inflate the market. Probably news to the Yankees people that they are involved in serious talks with Texeira.

December 23, 2008  02:15 PM ET

UR CRAZY NO AANOUCEMENT YET AND WHWN IT DOES EVERYONE WILL PASTE IT

December 23, 2008  02:15 PM ET

No, his mom did. I had wafers and milk with her last night. She was kind enough to give me a follow up call.

December 23, 2008  02:16 PM ET

I hope he signs with Red Sox

I agree. We all know that Mark is going to go to Boston. He wants to play for a proven winner. Boston is pretty proven if you ask me. Two of the past five World Series titles and almost played in three of five..Pretty proven. Sign with Boston, make me happy. The Yankees aren't serious enough to sign Tex. They have reported that the Yanks don't want to spend anymore than what they spent on Sabathia.

December 23, 2008  02:16 PM ET

Impossible. Boras doesn't have a mother. He's unhuman.

December 23, 2008  02:17 PM ET

Jesus guy is Boras right there with you? Everyone else is saying Boston or Washington and you instantly say no no no no Yankees too and hes "very interested". Give me a break! Have some pride Heyman and stop being Boras's puppet. The Yankees are not signing him, Boras is just freaking out and driving up the price and this loser is his mouthpiece.
