WORST IDEA 8/24/10: 8Johnny Damon may turn down Red Sox

He's a folk hero in Boston and Detroit has about as much chance of making a playoff run as the Raiders do of winning the Super Bowl, yet Johnny Damon may block a trade to the Boston Red Sox. Damon has the contractual right and has said a lot of blather about enjoying tutoring the young guys in Detroit, but that seems absurd. On one hand, you get to be in a playoff race in which the Red Sox still control their own destiny. One other, you get to lose a lot in Detroit, which, if you haven't heard, is not exactly the nicest place to live.

Johnny Damon was targeted by the Boston Red Sox not to block another team but because they want him, according to a source. - ESPN Boston
