Johnny Damon-OF- Yankees

Feb. 9 - 2:51 pm et

Jon Paul Morosi of FOXSports.com hears that the Reds aren't in on free agent outfielder Johnny Damon.

Damon's agent Scott Boras would love it if they were, if for no other reason than to drive up his asking price, however the Reds probably reached their budgetary limit after signing Orlando Cabrera earlier this month. Damon's contributions on offense are too good for him to end up without a dance partner, even though Boras hasn't done him any favors.

Johnny Damon-OF - Yankees

Feb. 9 - 9:07 am et

Johnny Damon's agent, Scott Boras, told the Detroit Free Press on Monday that his client loves the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.

"When he and I go to a Greek restaurant, he always orders octopus," Boras said Monday. Red Wings fans celebrate hat tricks by throwing octopus carcasses on the ice at Joe Louis Arena and Boras is clearly trying to sell Damon to the city of Detroit. A marriage would make some sense, but the Tigers have yet to show serious interest in the 36-year-old defensively-inept outfielder. He batted .282/.365/.489 with 24 home runs last season.

An American League executive told MLive.com Thursday that free agent outfielder Johnny Damon will be "lucky to get whatever he gets."

"I can’t believe anybody is going to offer Damon more than the $14 million and $6 million the Yankees did," said the unnamed executive. "If you turn them down for that, you deserve one year for $3 million or whatever he is going to get. In February, teams have got guys in place. My feeling is that now he is going to be lucky to get whatever he gets." Damon hit .282/.365/.489 with 24 homers and 107 runs scored last year but has drawn little interest from teams at his current asking price, whatever it may be.

Lynn Henning of the Detroit News believes "the Tigers and Johnny Damon by now might have a deal" if the club was willing to guarantee two years.

The Tigers are believed to have interest in signing the 36-year-old outfielder, but only to a one-year pact. "If they can do a one-year arrangement, even for $7 million or a bit more," writes Henning, "they could well go for it." Damon hit .282/.365/.489 with 24 homers and 107 runs scored last year and may as well wait until a team gets desperate during spring training.

Johnny Damon-OF - Yankees

Feb. 4 - 7:59 pm et

Scott Boras, the agent for outfielder Johnny Damon, said Thursday that he thinks there's still a "quality market" for his client.

"I still feel there is a quality market for Johnny Damon," Boras said, "and I'm negotiating with a number of teams. There are three teams out there that if they don't have Johnny Damon, they're not winning the division. He's the difference in these teams making the playoffs or not contending." USA Today's Bob Nightengale speculates that two of those three teams are the Braves and Tigers. It certainly adds up, whether they truly need Damon or not.

Feb. 3 - 3:52 pm et

A team source hinted to Mark Bowman of MLB.com that the Braves still aren't actively pursuing free agent outfielder Johnny Damon.

Bowman doesn't discount the idea altogether, though. He believes things could change if Damon remains unsigned and the Braves suffer an injury during Spring Training, or if his price tag falls in the $1-2 million range. Agent Scott Boras isn't about to settle for that and will continue to drum up interest elsewhere, however unlikely that may be.
