Johnny Damon decided to stay with the Detroit Tigers rather than approve a trade to the Boston Red Sox:
Damon said before Tuesday night’s game against Kansas City that he turned down the move.
“I love Detroit,” he told reporters.
I suppose the Red Sox could go after Manny Ramirez instead. That would make the team a little more fun to watch.
Red Sox were mainly looking to block Damon from Tampa. They may do the same with Manny. LF, CF and DH have been pretty productive even with Ellsbury and Cameron out. The real holes are at 1B/C (V-Mart can play 1B but has not decent backup at C) and in the bullpen.
