Sean McAdam, Boston Herald

Joining us on the line right now. From the Boston Herald and you hear him here on Sports Radio as well as -- buddy Shawn academy John. Despite what on ESP and the other night you do not still worked for the product journal.

There are are wanted to interrupt her director so badly but I also didn't want to draw attention to what should track short cut politico.

If you really can go out gone in to detail not only do not work for the Providence journal it's how it ended there. I went down.

They had an idea. In -- Christmas -- wouldn't. -- despite did not want to make a big deal that -- I felt badly oh wait what it was though Murton shut them an email they were. Apologizing profusely but. Their work for inkster. Saved me then. I used to work for the Providence journal.

Plus plus Christmas -- somebody does the -- in -- too much to act and so. So professional that is what I did the words I want her fired appear in your email at all. Cricket -- you're back page piece in today's Boston Herald is the topic that's on everybody's minds. In these parts in the aftermath of the baseball winter meetings it's. You know whether Mark Teixeira I read with interest you had some some details in their -- we were talking about this yesterday I don't know Teixeira I don't know much about them. He had the bit where the angels' side is worried that his wife wants to live on the east coast I don't know that. You had a bit about how competitive and driven he apparently is -- I don't know that either. Is your read that the east coast has a lot of attraction for him in this.

I think it does spell it buried their gut it grew up in Maryland. You're apparently still on the the bird parker through spot on evolved from Baltimore. Went to Georgia Tech where I think he better partnership from Atlanta. They have a lot terribly on the east -- Yeah I think there are geographically speaking you know. We've all seen the -- the probable than -- who's been called the show than these contracts about. There -- guys getting first class ticket home in the air fair and use of corporate jet to go visit people all but they're far away. I think. From everything on hearing about include people vehicles organization war worried. That they are dealing -- graphical disadvantage here that you would prefer to be. Closer Altman and certainly ball. But I expect a lot closer to the ball border area and Atlanta a lot better than event -- There have been saying there. You know -- and never wrote today I just don't think. That Baltimore or Washington. Are viable contender this year I think they're they're both. Franchises of course looked to have them because probably -- great player but he would be. Cover the pick the franchise for two clubs that are. Desperately in need of kind of a make over in the national TV ratings because it seemed so -- they're miniscule. You know the ball park Brady do it yet people -- already. Part of bored with the -- chart because of a help or that there have been lost 102 games the Orioles. The great trade chart -- settled living room losing seasons in a row. I really think this could come down to the report in -- and of that fork -- in have a big head being you know. An hour and twenty minutes played -- Iraq away from Baltimore rather than 3000 mile.

Shot are we talking about equal money here between the Red Sox and Angels.

Well like court as well the road I think everyone knows we're quote from upsetting. Everyone knows where it's -- doubt that that never general idea that it probably going to be about eight years. Beijing someone throws the option of their -- he's been dying every note going to be somewhere below what he's going to be AB so you know. Eight years once -- theatre of war -- of that category. I I think. Both teams Eagles would have thought went into this knowing. That he would probably going to end up being. If not be hurt higher -- ball where -- a position player all arms. That. That maybe even the second in the second. You'd have to pop. In -- terms of the total package 189. Million given -- Derek Jeter has an extension by the Yankees in 2000. But he you can arrival. Or probably the exceed group vanity. Eight year 160 billion dollar deal would old -- truck -- to deal. -- pop there so. You know they built the dribble area -- that they are expected to be in the.

and there are a lot of questions here on both sides the start with Los Angeles the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim just to be proper. Did Mark Teixeira like his teammates of his teammates like him did he get along with them Mike Scioscia. -- he adapt well to the Los Angeles the of the Southern California area all that all those issues are are on my mind they do you know any of those answers.

Guy I think from people ought to. People vehicle organizational people who -- Teixeira. Is to pot on there were pretty adorable. You know you don't like when -- replaced Laguna Beach. Which pretty bacteria obviously. I think -- so sure to be player's manager of that. Barbecue play hard -- chalk on -- go by the -- he's pretty easy guy to get along with. He has in the past. Squared off with regard to have been difficult -- Quote that you had and some others. But. You know he you do not want to do that and have the reputation of being too difficult. Plate or they had. I think they're in general is -- experience as brief as it was when he got there on July 29 practical want them. You know four games into the post Fiedler October either through. But still Boone's 910 weeks were pretty durable for sure there was nothing that turned the ball off topic that well about coming back here. He -- generally positive experience all around -- the government told.

There have been rumblings that the Yankees may get involved here or not I don't know what's real and I don't know what's Scott Boras driven because he'd love to have everybody think. The Yankees will be involved here what's your read on that.

I I don't see government -- I get there have been one of the few people all law that. Didn't believe the Yankees are going to be players fear or that they were going to make a late entry into that I think that. You know big -- have to fit with which has been clear overlap there are a couple of weeks have been on pitching pitching and that more pitcher. They've got CC sabathia of their pocket. Burnett they've got -- sheep on the back order. You know that they are clearly intent on read -- starting rotation and they're not about beefed up body. Part is that they're looking out they have all the even in this rough. Economic times Yankees are sort of recession proof of the great. Some bumps in the road in terms of some. Corporate sponsorship burden been plucked out of the blooper that their new stadium but it's so -- you wouldn't fall for them. Air bear Bryant -- about poured out so it looked like the gatekeeper. -- You know of -- everything up. Sorry they are taken all the Big Five billion dollar bought the book. From there were part of -- Giambi not coming back and perhaps Andy Pettitte not coming back. There's a lot money they're they're. That -- subtracting from last year so they have a span. But I thought when they got it we're sure about effectively. Took care of their their situation at first base. They beat everybody. Oh low risk high reward guy coming off a bad year but it clearly a better offer to. Where they showed a year ago. He's not -- sure but that if you are. But I think they realize now having. -- probably on some position players in the past few years. That it really does it back the picture and that we're using cavity not developing as quickly you they would like. They need to do a lot at Marshall where. Considerable economic money toward getting pictures. And direct the good news will will take care of itself I would not however. He's surprised to see direct you'd be Yankees become. Suitors from -- Which may be one reason why he got or not particularly interested in getting them into the -- sweepstake. Because of the -- landing spot for me any given that there are a lot.

Well speaking of landing spots John I -- you earlier about LA questions about the Boston questions if Mark Teixeira comes here. That means Mike Lowell has to go. Are there teams that you're hearing out there that are very interested in my goal or forget about Barry interest -- A able to you to take him on and saying fine I know he's coming off the surgery but we've still think Michael can help us.

I I think there are a lot of people might in that latter camp that. That like the idea of Michael covering him because who -- he's the ultimate pro. These -- terrific article up oh leader people respected throughout the game you can't find anyone. They're bad word about like lol that that. Are too big question mark -- the we got coming -- significant. It's surgery in October. And you do 24 billion dollars over the next year. -- the people who would have meeting I think any. I think there will be cement truck. What people want to see him play. In February and march and see -- that if beer. And you can -- of the game and it's it's pretty obvious -- teams that. That are entrusted or will be would have an opening your needed third base. Cleveland -- traded he -- Blake away. At bat by about your doctors. I could speak Eric Wedge. He took one of that they could do. They got little beyond infielders that relate deal. The -- to the map the other night. They could be. Possibly put in that short -- Johnny brawl with the bird. They do -- lover option. But they would like the third baseman crap Arco where it was a -- will be formally goes. Salary. He shook his head pretty emphatically. That report would. -- at least. Take some of that money back ever suspect that's where they're going to be anyway. That if he if they do you if the Pete -- fall the year they beat Mark Teixeira -- that they try to blue wool they're probably going to have to applaud that trade. Some degree in -- probably prepared to do that. Realizing that you know it is 3435. What about the surgery that a point four million dollar contract -- thought would be easy to move. Other people might be trusted again the this is a team that would not expect -- about the twins need a third baseman and ironically. You know the road trip departed here needle might need what. If they don't get Teixeira. There's talked about maybe. Dude from other things they're moving -- shot figured the outfield are permanent basis and that beating a third -- so ironically. After. Going dollar for dollar Mark Teixeira -- Europeans to turn around talked about trade crippled but.

I don't know how intangibles. Affect. Wins and losses but I do know this Michael is a very valuable guy. In that clubhouse as is Jason Varitek. The Red Sox could conceivably get better on paper. Bringing in Mark Teixeira sank a bottle lol and and fat chance I know moving from Varitek and bringing in another catcher. What does that do to the soul of the team so to speak if you have lol out and you have Varitek out and you have these new guys and work. Maybe more talented but don't have a track record here in terms of getting along with the guys in the clubhouse.

Right or or it could -- Significant issue that I think they'll have to deal with -- I I don't think it is without it. Resolution. Because we either bought a couple of years well Kevin you court and stopped in Korea start pick on more leadership role. On the eve of Korea has figured the Secret Service Harmon and and lol are you quote from what war. You know if they have begun do exert their personality more and I think it -- of -- will continue. As they. Progressive as major -- currently -- BP. Does nothing but improve. The drawers stature in the world but you're talking about two very significant personalities and -- I think it happened the other ref thought mind what that student to -- chemistry you're out of this. Back -- you know recipient pair of doubles in the club. The make up both of the team. I think it would be a significant loss in terms of that but but I think there are others that would. Stepped into in. That board a little bed and take on bigger -- voted it but not insignificant. Factors that that they have to weigh as they go through that.

In your mind will Jason Varitek B here will it be under one or two year deal if he has.

My guess is that he will be here. I do not see a market for about there. You know every every -- someone -- the suggests. But you know obviously Cincinnati or maybe Europe Houston. Or Detroit something happens debate -- capture vacancy your. And gave specific here pick out anybody they're looking to move that inaudible are out of that what -- mother. They -- about -- but much of an option. More you look around the block it but the ball harder -- is it becomes to construct the well first scenario where there's a plate -- They have and I got a for a spot would be comfortable having your back on short term deal. My guess is that. It would have to be more -- a one year deal even though there's no market for him like I figured. You know what to Prague and -- dating thing that they would. With some reluctance go to two guaranteed years so I I I think that eventually. But it will get worked out but it's worth remembering that for years ago when you look very far better. Commodity your -- far harder commodity on the market but it -- Christmas -- For that the company would feel so I probably pretty good pick here for it or. Or soon there and it wouldn't surprise me that -- they're pursuing have been a charter side -- short term deal but figured something out because department. You could make trade for a younger guys for. For Varitek to bat four or you know somebody else says the veteran a bit like -- local.

Is talk radio show on so let's speculate a little bit you know -- going to speculate. For the first time ever. In the past in New York. You know Joe Torre was able to get off to a and eleven and nineteen start and really have to worry about job security that's -- that. Early point in the season. Now the Yankees. Have been so active in our our clearly. Going to spend a lot of money on their pitching staff do you think Joe Girardi could survive a slow start in New York let's say. Ten and 1810 and seventeen. When he when he got hot seat that fast.

All right he he'd be on the hot seat I think you survive Mike I think what he wouldn't survive do you know give -- year a sixty or seventy gate sample. And if he's. You know. If he's. Or B thirty go after fifty games. There aren't they keep -- real trouble. You know I I think that. They've made the call here that he was perfect got a cup -- Yankee. -- like the fact that. He would push players a little bit you know all all the thing that. He -- trouble with that is what -- I think the Yankees like the fact that he was perceived as. The -- that was -- From that supported the club but and beat -- baker sport probable although things. But. -- You moved to -- new ballpark they're great parents who optimism indeed great expectations. I think they have to get off to a good starter Girardi could be in trouble. You're about so much for bright cut captured their point. Bought from politics -- broker who obviously you're running shoval. And I don't think -- going to be content to be at third four point 801.

Final question from me will Teixeira be done by the end of the week.

I topic so. You know beauty you can go by either of the cup -- track record here other visible landmark pure A-Rod deal -- 2000 thing. Don't give up the -- beating. I think he would like. Seems to spew a little bit over the weekend -- a little panic Ian and come back in. Upped their offer little bit early next week. -- I would expect that it would be done by the middle and the next week but I don't think it'll. -- quickly from all liked in the year that it ought to look spoke yesterday you know -- there's still some. There's still aways to go here start be surprised -- it got of this week.

Charlie appreciate time has always welcome back are you back.

where you're going to wake up right to the -- so that I'm on your part. Little cooler here than Vegas I guess the -- outlook and really warm up very you know our -- our our Norton -- sweltering but I thought it would be comfortable on. You know -- varied from probably didn't get much of -- either lose out of forty -- so I'll get to outdoors much anyway right. Exactly we just skip that prompted fresh oxygen to keep going you know.

Now when you're when you're flying back that you do you rider he read magazines -- anything -- don't play.

I have -- of emergencies we trouble -- probably borders. Campus stroke back bad -- chock full of magazines that never seemed to. Get fully repko broke long airplane guard that we fought the like not up a little Burton -- get some of that picture.

The reason mass I probably have picked up the latest copy of GQ I'm just got thrown out there -- Jennifer Aniston's on the copper. And -- little more and there's a top there's a guy there that's all.

I heard her reply involved -- much -- that's why you might want to pick and you know idea of striker Robert respect or might have law battled away from the real. Talent on the lower down.

The articles are excellent that you need to read that's that's part of yours so perhaps you need that. -- about -- only appreciated take care. Here -- that is Sean Gannon on the Boston Herald.
