As with Abreu last year, who ever signs Damon will get a bargain based on value delivered. It won't be the Yankees.

Among all the nobodys they've signed (Winn, Thames, Mitre,Gaudin) they would have had enough $ for Damon. The others could have been replaced with anybody, Damon can't. It got personal, Cashman got bullheaded and the Yankee fans will pay.

If Damon had lowered his price already, he'd be a Detroit Tiger or Atlanta Brave (or New York Yankee) as we speak. The reason Damon is unemployed is because he's too expensive relative to his actual market value. Yes.
