Report: Johnny Damon agrees to deal with Tigers

Tim Brown of Yahoo! Sports is reporting via Twitter Johnny Damon has agreed to a one-year, $7 million deal with the Detroit Tigers.

ESPN’s Karl Ravech reports the deal is for $8MM.

The Damon saga has finally come to an end. I think it’s time I change my blog’s banner.

The deal also completes a swap of a Curtis Granderson and Damon. Damon’s the better hitter, but Granderson’s got more speed, is younger and has the better glove and arm.

More on this later, I’m covering a women’s ice hockey game.
