"The Rays are nearing a deal with Johnny Damon, according to Yahoo's Tim Brown (on Twitter). There is still work to be done before the sides reach an agreement, however. Agent Scott Boras represents Damon (MLBTradeRumors)."
I like this signing by the Rays. Damon still had a little left in the tank. Last year hit .271/.355/.401 with 69 walks, 36 doubles for the Tigers, yet his power numbers were way down (8) and he doesn't steal many bases (11). I still say I like it, because I think his power numbers can come back and the Rays at this point needed to do something to replace Pena, Crawford, ect. He also could fit in nicely while the Rays try to bring up their young prospects (example: Desmond Jennings).
