NEW YORK - The New York Yankees grabbed center fielder Johnny Damon away from the rival Boston Red Sox, reaching a preliminary agreement Tuesday night on a $52 million, four-year contract.

Details of the deal were still being negotiated and Damon must pass a physical, a baseball official said on condition of anonymity because negotiations were not yet final.

i miss bernie Sad

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 04:26 AM

yeah, and I miss Ron Guidry. Get over it.

GonzoStyle · 12-21-2005, 04:29 AM

so that basically leaves mo, jorge and jeter from the old 90's teams.

Just saying I kinda expected him to be back anyway, it was kinda pathetic how he really got no goodbye he got a couple claps here and there. I dunno maybe I think of him in a higher echelon than he should be in.

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 04:35 AM

you don't think the yanks will sign him for the bench or dh?

GonzoStyle · 12-21-2005, 05:00 AM

kinda pointless, much like mattingly.

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 05:11 AM

he could do what ruben sierra does

GonzoStyle · 12-21-2005, 05:14 AM

but ruben is better, it'll pass cause bernie sucks.

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 05:19 AM

what the fuck are you smoking?

Keyser Soze · 12-21-2005, 05:29 AM

he sure did lower his asking price

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 05:35 AM

that's because he realized his agent is a moron.

Keyser Soze · 12-21-2005, 05:36 AM

he fits the yankee mold of aging superstar. but seriously, he's a fine centerfield stopgap. best thing left on the market to fill the void.

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 05:42 AM

aging? jesus christ, since when did 32 become the new 40?

HollywoodJewMoses · 12-21-2005, 05:51 AM

he has no arm, and his power numbers decreased a ridiculous amount last year.

himself as a player, he is not worth 13mill a year, but taking away offense from the red sox might be worth the contract...

im glad he wont be in center field next year for the red sox.

all hail jeremy reed!

Keyser Soze · 12-21-2005, 05:55 AM

im looking forward to seeing him clean shaven and short haired again.

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 05:58 AM

he has an arm, actually he has two of them.

more importantly, he has legs.

The Jays · 12-21-2005, 06:13 AM
