Damon is mad that the Red Sox didn’t want him. He wanted to stay in Boston.
Not that badly. He could have signed for $10 million a year but that extra $3 million was what felt like love to him. Coco Crisp is not maturing as a hitter at the plate which is sort of too bad because if he could grow up a bit he could be another Kenny Lofton. His D is better than Damon though and Crisp is several million dollars a year cheaper salary wise. Crisp can improve whereas Damon can only hope to slow the decline.
