According to the Detroit Free Press, Johnny Damon is on the Tigers and Braves radar. This article claims that the Tigers pursuit of Damon hinges on whether or not owner Mike Ilitch is willing to expand the Tiger budget. If Damon lowers his demands, he and the Braves may be a match.
VJ Says: Day by day we keep getting closer to pitchers and catchers. As this happens, Johnny Damon‘s market still exists, but only in a $6 million realm. It looks like all interested parties are sitting on the sidelines, waiting to see how low Johnny Damon will go. Atlanta GM Frank Wren has the most to gain by getting the free-agent left fielder to sign on the dotted line. On paper, the Braves are one player away (Damon) from being serious contenders for a Wild Card spot in 2010. As for Detroit, the White Sox look like the only 90-win team in the AL Central, whether or not Damon lands in the MoTown.
