Damon's still good and will be ok this year, but he's getting old and his skills are diminishing. For the money the Yankees offered him, it wasn't worth it for the Sox to hold on to him.

Here's a followup What concerns you the most about the Cardinals? The Pitching or the Hitting? Or Both?

There are so many private insider-information that the public doesn't know about. But I am sure that the Sox made a decent offer based on his preceived market worth. The Yankees (as usual) offered alot more money and he was enticed to change scenery. Looking back, the yankees still haven't won the world series since 2000 & several of their free agent signings have been busts (Pavano - 4 years for 40 mil).

How much do you think this baseball would be worth?
