Still, as recently as a couple of days ago, there was renewed dialogue between Damon, Boras and the Yankees in which the Yankees made one last attempt to have a good Yankee remain a Yankee.And Marc Carig says that he received a text from Damon, and he says he "should have a team in a week"."Tell us your bottom line for what you're willing to play for," they said, "and if it's in the realm of where our budget needs to be we can go to ownership (Hal Steinbrenner) and see if something can be worked out." But instead of giving them a number, Boras came back with more of his patented "mystery team" hogwash, claiming he had a couple of other offers they were still considering.
All we fans can do is wait. Like I said earlier, we'll know more in the upcoming days.

From Jon Heyman:
damon has days to take low deal with yankees. assuming he says no, theyll sign another OF soon from johnson, nady, winn, edmonds, dyeNot sure what that "low deal" is, nor have I seen anyone else talking about the Yankees making an offer. I guess we'll find out more in the next few days.
