Feb 8 Randy Winn and the New York Yankees have finalized a $1.1 million, one-year contract.

Advice: The deal, reached Jan. 27 subject to a physical, pretty much eliminated any chance Damon had of returning to the World Series champions.

STATS LLC


Feb 8 Damon could sign with the Rays, but the team would have to unload some salary, ESPN-AM 1050 in New York reports.

Recommendation: The salary reduction would be trading Pat Burrell who the team has been trying to unload for most of the off-season.
