Johnny Damon News

Jimmie Johnson has put together the kind of winning streak that Johnny Damon and the Yankees can certainly appreciate.

As the Yankees' World Series DVD hits the stores, talk is centering on which of their World Series heroes will remain in pinstripes - Andy Pettitte, Hideki Matsui, Johnny Damon.

NEW YORK - Joe Girardi and Brian Cashman stood a few feet from each other on the red carpet near the World Series trophy, wearing blue jeans and sports jackets without ties.

The Yankees WILL NOT come close to spending a half a billion dollars this winter.

Hideki Matsui will wait to see if he is signed back onto the Yankees for an eighth season.

The Tigers are shopping star right-handed starter Edwin Jackson on the trade market in attempt to reduce their payroll for 2010, sources have told FOXSports.com. Motivated by the same cost-cutting philosophy, the Tigers also would be willing to part with center fielder Curtis Granderson for the right package in return, according to the New York ...
