"It became clear to us in our recent negotiations that the money that we were offering was not going to be good enough for Johnny at this time," White Sox GM Kenny Williams told ESPNChicago.com. "At this particular point, we feel it's necessary to withdraw our offer." The Tigers are now Damon's only truly interested suitor and should be able to wrap up a contract rather quickly. The 36-year-old batted .282 with 24 homers and 107 runs scored last year.

The financial terms of the offer were not revealed, but reports out of Detroit say a two-year, $14 million bid may be sitting on the table. Damon, 36, batted .282/.365/.489 with 24 homers and 107 runs scored last year for the Yankees and would serve as the Tigers' starting left fielder. He is also drawing increased interest from the White Sox.
