Johnny Damon leaves Red Sox for Yankees.

I just finished reading Johnny Damon’s book “Idiot”.  The impression he gives in that book is that he is a Red Sox through and through.  Seems kind of funny that the day I finish reading the book I see the news story that Damon has accepted a 4 year, $52 million contract with the Yankees.  I mean, he could have gone almost anywhere else, but he had to pick the Yankees.  That sure is going to annoy a whole lot of Red Sox fans.

I believe the Sox offered him a 4 year, $40 million contract.  Funny what people will do for that extra $12 million!  I will be watching the Yankees form next season with great interest.

There are still quite a few free agents that have not signed anywhere yet – you can keep your eye on them using the MLB Free Agent Tracker.  Fingers crossed we can retain Kevin Millar and John Olerud at the very least.
