The Rays have agreed to terms with both Johnny Damon and Manny Ramirez, tweets Jon Heyman of Sports Illustrated. The deals are pending physicals. Damon’s deal is worth $5.25MM plus a potential $750K in bonus money based on attendance. Ramirez’s deal is worth $2MM. (Twitter link) Both players are represented by Scott Boras.
Meanwhile, the Yankees have signed… Andruw Jones as a backup outfielder / right-handed bench bat to support the team’s lefty heavy outfield.
Outside of signing Soriano to a ridiculously one-sided contract, the Yankees have been fairly quiet this winter. That doesn’t mean that they’re having a bad offseason, really, but with so much going on in the AL East, it’s strange that they’re not really part of the action.
