| Johnny Damon Signs With The Yankees! NEW YORK (AP) -- The New York Yankees grabbed center fielder Johnny Damon away from the rival Boston Red Sox, reaching a preliminary agreement Tuesday night on a $52 million, four-year contract. Details of the deal were still being negotiated and Damon must pass a physical, a baseball official said on condition of anonymity because negotiations were not yet final. Damon fills a double void for the Yankees, giving them a speedy center fielder who can cover ground and a leadoff hitter to top a star-studded lineup that also includes Derek Jeter, Gary Sheffield, AL MVP Alex Rodriguez, Hideki Matsui and Jason Giambi. Bernie Williams' defense declined significantly over the past four seasons. And while Damon's arm is not much better, he does cover a lot of ground, which is important in Yankee Stadium. Agent Scott Boras had been seeking a seven-year contract for Damon. The offer Damon accepted was essentially the same as the deal Matsui agreed to with the Yankees last month. | ||||||||||||||

| Is he the Jesus looking fella that used to be in all of Simon's pics? I figure he has to be pissed about this one. Knowing nothing about baseball...I'll just sit and think of George Costanza now | |||||||||||||||

| wow, they were in need for a center fielder and they sure did get one. Another reason for me to hate the yankees. I wonder how the Sox fans feel about this. | |||||||||||||||

| I know several Red Sox fans and none of them are happy about this, myself included. Anybody who knows me in real life knows that I hate the Yankees and always have, this is just another reason for me to dislike them. It's a good grab for them, but I wish that Damon had re-signed with Boston instead. | ||||||||||||||

| I'm a Red Sox fan and I look at it like this. The first 2 years, his production would be the same but the last 2 years when he gets to 35, 36 years old, the guy isn't the best defender in the world and he would only get worse. The Yanks are paying him 13 mil a year. I wouldn't have liked this deal if the Red Sox signed him for more than 11 mil. I just go back to the Bernie Williams effect and how he just got worse this past season. | ||||||||||||||

| Yeah.. I don't really see this as a bad thing. Now they can pick up someone else to play center field for a lot cheaper. And that gives them more money to offer Clemens. Hopefully, by some stroke of luck, Roger Clemens returns to Boston. | ||||||||||||||
