DANA POINT, Calif. - At what point do the Angels tell Scott Boras to shove it?
OK, that's putting it indelicately, but the Angels' history is to strike quickly in the free-agent market — and Boras, when it comes to cutting deals, isn't exactly Mr. November.
So, as much as the Angels want to retain first baseman Mark Teixeira, they will not engage in protracted negotiations with Boras.
The Dodgers, while generally less decisive, could adopt a similar take-it-or-leave it approach with Boras' other big slugger, left fielder Manny Ramirez.
In the end, the strategy for both Los Angeles teams could be to avoid Boras and bid hard for left-hander CC Sabathia, perhaps the biggest free-agent prize of all.
