Agent Scott Boras represents Braves first baseman Mark Teixeira, who’s expected to command at least $12 million in his final year of arbitration before becoming a free agent after next season. The Braves want to re-sign the former Georgia Tech star, who has 17 homers and 55 RBIs in 53 games since being traded to Atlanta. — Atlanta Journal-Constitution

Braves want to re-sign Teixeira
Saturday, September 29th, 2007Agent says Braves won’t get a ‘discount’ if they re-sign Andruw
Saturday, September 29th, 2007There are three games left in the season, and it sounds more than likely there are only three games left in Andruw Jones’ Braves career. In a conversation with the Journal-Constitution, agent Scott Boras was more clear than he has been to date on the subject of Jones and chances of the soon-to-be-free-agent center fielder accepting a discount to stay with the Braves. “Andruw Jones took a discount to stay in Atlanta last time,” Boras said, referring to the six-year, $75 million contract Jones negotiated with the Braves before the 2002 season, when he and his father worked out the deal with general manager John Schuerholz without Boras at the table. — Atlanta Journal-Constitution
