 Johnny Damon-OF- YankeesNov. 21 - 12:56 pm et
Ken Davidoff of Newsday reports that the Yankees' priority right now is re-signing Johnny Damon, with Hideki Matsui on the back-burner.
Even though Matsui turned heads in the World Series, Damon is the better property going forward considering he can hold his own in the field. Agent Scott Boras is pushing for a four-year deal, but we can't see anything more than two years. The Yankees and Damon should be able to come to an agreement fairly shortly, freeing up resources to devote to the free agent market.

 Johnny Damon-OF - Yankees Nov. 20 - 9:09 am et

According to Mark Feinsand of the New York Daily News, the Yankees would like to re-sign Johnny Damon to a two-year contract.
Damon's agent Scott Boras is pushing for a four-year deal, but it's doubtful he'll find that this winter. Damon had a fantastic 2009 season, finishing with a .282/.365/.489 batting line, 24 home runs, 82 RBI and 107 runs scored. But he just turned 36 years old and is an awful defender. If the Yanks let him walk, the likelihood of them re-signing Hideki Matsui no doubt increases.

The Giants appear to have emerged as a "potential competitor" for Johnny Damon, reports Jon Heyman of SI.com.
Damon's agent Scott Boras is playing hardball, at least publicly, stating that the 36-year-old outfielder deserves another four-year contract. Heyman writes that the Yankees will "absolutely" not go that far, instead hoping to bring him back on a two-year contract. While the Giants may not go to the astronomical level that is needed to sign Matt Holliday or Jason Bay, they could be in Damon.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that Johnny Damon might seek more than a one or two-year contract.
It's speculation on Sherman's part, but this is Scott Boras we're talking about, so Damon will surely listen to other offers. Damon batted .282/.365/.489 with 24 home runs, 82 RBI and 107 runs scored for the Yankees in 2009, proving especially valuable during the World Series. The Yankees likely won't dish out a long-term contract to an outfielder who just turned 37 years old. Boras will have a hard time convincing another club to do the same.

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Yankees are "strategizing ways" to retain Johnny Damon, Hideki Matsui and Andy Pettitte.
Damon and Pettitte are the most likely to return, but according to one team executive, they would like to retain all three. "No, I hope we can figure out a way to have them all back," said the source. According to Sherman, general manager Brian Cashman has yet to meet with his entire staff to formulate an offseason plan, but there is a feeling within the organization that the team needs to get younger and more athletic. Bringing back Matsui and his surgically-repaired knees would run counter to this school of thought.

Johnny Damon left Game 6 of the World Series with a strained right calf muscle.
Damon aggravated the calf when scoring on a two-run single by Hideki Matsui in the bottom of the third inning. Jerry Hairston Jr. came in to replace him in left field.
