Looks like Damon is going to Detroit. Good pick up for the Tigers, that's for sure.

1 year for $ 7 million. He could have had that from the Yankees if he didn't trust BorASS!! Hope he gets used to losing...this year is going to a rough one on Detroit. Sorry Tom!!!

Which offer would you pick?

2 yrs $14M with the defending World Series Champions or 1 yr $8M for a team that will not even make the playoffs.

Johnny Damon free agency = FAIL!!!!

Randy Winn didn't take Damon's place, Curtis Granderson did. Winn is going to be the 4th outfielder.

I don't think we'll know for sure until after spring training. Not like it really matters, neither Winn or Gardner can hit.

I am surprised the Union is allowing that during a current contract.

How much control does the Union have over that issue?

They have had lot's of control in the past. That is one of the reason it took so long to even get any steroid testing. The Union always refused to put it in the contracts. It was not until the Mitchell Report came out that the Union agreed to an addendum to the current contract.

Until a minor league player is put on the 40 man roster the union does not have any say in the testing. The minors had testing years before MLB did and the guidelines were more stringent.
