Mark TeixeiraAccording to Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com, the Boston Red Sox could be on the verge of signing free agent first baseman Mark Teixeira.

The Red Sox are making progress in their quest to sign free-agent first baseman Mark Teixeira, according to a major-league source.

“Headway was being made earlier today,” one source said.

A rival general manager whose plans could be affected by the Red Sox’s addition of Teixeira also indicated that a deal was getting closer.

Let’s hope the Red Sox can get this deal done tomorrow and worry about the fallout later.

I will have a recap of the events from Wednesday coming up very shortly.
