TEAMS: Oakland Athletics, Tampa Bay Rays, New York Yankees, Philadelphia Phillies
The Yankees could be reaching into their past to secure their future designated hitter. A day after Raul Ibanez emerged as a candidate to fill the role, ESPN.com reports the Yankees have also looked into Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui as left-handed options to rejoin the club as a designated hitter. Unlike Ibanez, Damon and Matsui have each played for the Yankees and were teammates on the squad that won the 2009 World Series. Damon, 37, spent four years in pinstripes from 2006 to 2009, batting .285 with 77 home runs and 296 RBIs. Since leaving New York, the former...

A Possible Future HOF Available to Mets on the Cheap
Reports indicate that Johnny Damon is looking for a contract in the $5 million dollar range. I doubt he can score that kind of deal this late in the offseason, so maybe the Mets should see if they could swoop in and sign him to an incentive-laden deal.
Where would Damon fit? How about centerfield? Yes, I know the issues with the pop-gun arm, however Damon can still hit (.261/16...
