Not too many players want to return to Boston once they leave .

Stay the hell out of Boston Johnny. I understand its a business issue, but there is something called “integrity”. He has NONE!

Johnny is, always and consistently, all about Johnny, and returning to Boston ups his chances of landing a good contract in the FA market this offseason. By Wednesday afternoon, he’ll be back in a Boston uniform.

Boston’s grasping for straws again. Damon’s in decline anyway, that just shows how desperate Boston is .

Minnesota Twins 8/24/2009 62-63
Granted that the 2010 Twins are 5.5 games ahead of where the 2009 Tigers were at this point, but it’s not completely impossible.

You don’t leave Boston, immediately go to NY, and receive anything but scorn from Red Sox fans. I don’t blame him for not wanting to go back and frankly I, for one, don’t want him back.
As great of a run as it was, Captain Caveman has burned this particular bridge.

What were the Tigers thinking?
