With http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=4571Ben Sheets signing in Oakland for $10 million guaranteed plus incentives, we have to wonder if there is a place for Damon with the A's, considering the fact that he wants more than a few million bucks for 2010.
The Yankees haven't closed the door on brining Damon back and ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reported earlier this week that there is no timetable for a decision on Damon.
We speculated earlier today about other options for the Yankees, including http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=3449Jermaine Dye and http://sports.espn.go.com/mlb/players/profile?playerId=5352Rocco Baldelli, among others, though Xavier Nady's deal with the Chicago Cubs today removes another potential option from the Yankees grasp. But with suitors dropping like flies, Damon is running out of options, too.
We checked in with Olney on the possibility of Damon signing in Oakland now that Sheets is signed, sealed and delivered.

The A's may not have money left for Damon
"Oakland spent the bulk of its available money to lure Ben Sheets, and while the Athletics are expected to continue talking with Damon, they're probably in about the same place that the Yankees are in regard to the outfielder: They can make a modest offer -- nothing close to the three-year, $39 million range that Damon's agent was talking about six weeks ago -- and if Damon takes it, great. And if not, Oakland won't extend itself to get him. The question from Oakland's perspective might be whether Damon would play for a one-year deal in the $4 million/$5 million range."
"I think Wang is worth a flier to see if he has something left. While people can question what's left after surgery, a sinkerballer can survive with a little less velocity, so he's worth a look."
Bush was involved in some other incidents at a high school in San Diego last month. Bush has just been charged with misdemeanor assault and it occurs to me that I never shared the details of the alleged assault. They are quite entertaining:
A witness, who requested his name not be used, told TheSan Diego Union-Tribune that Bush was drunk that day, threw a golf clubinto the dirt, picked up and threw a freshman lacrosse player and hitanother one. The witness said Bush yelled "I'm Matt (expletive) Bush,"and "(expletive) East County" before driving over a curb in hisMercedes as he was leaving the campus.
That never gets old.
Oh. I only see 67.
