NYBD contributor Frank Russo reached out to his Yankees contacts and was told that there is a “small opening” for Damon to return. His source speculated that a deal could be reached, if Damon agrees to play for somewhere in the neighborhood of one year/$5 million plus incentives. This is a far cry from the 2 year/$20 million dollar deal that was floated earlier in the offseason.I'm really not sure what to make of this rumor. Russo has been right a few times in the past, so I wouldn't completely disregard it.
You guys know I'm in favor of a Damon return, so this would be great news to me.
