The New York Daily News reports Johnny Damon won't take a pay cut to stay with the Yankees.
"I want to continue to be on a team that can win and to play in front of great fans - and we know that the Yankees fill both of those," Damon said. "I think everyone knows my desire to come back. Still, every time I've been a free agent, I've ended up switching teams. It's the nature of the beast. If people are interested, I'm going to listen." Damon would reportedly be open to a shorter deal with New York, however he would want a higher annual salary.
