Johnny Damon told reporters after Monday night's game that he's leaning toward staying with the Tigers.

"My gut and everything else tells me Detroit's the place for me," Damon told reporters (via MLB.com's Jason Beck's Twitter ).

Now, Damon has said recently he likes the Tigers and would prefer to stay with the team. However, he said he could return to Detroit as a free agent even if he were traded.

"I could still come back here next season," Damon told the Detroit News on Friday.

That was when it was an abstract --- Monday he was claimed by the Red Sox and he can invoke his no-trade clause to reject a deal to Boston.

It seems, though, he got his feelings hurt by Boston fans when he left the Red Sox to sign with the Yankees and maybe that's keeping him away.

At least one Red Sox, David Ortiz, said he'd call Damon and try to talk him into coming, so that could still happen (he has until Wednesday to decide), but I'm not sure I'd put any cash on it.

I would have done the same thing. Damon, Now grow up and decide to return to Boston and help the team out. You still get paid and can return to lovely Detriot next year

Since: Aug 18, 2008	Posted on: August 24, 2010 3:27 pm Damon 'leaning toward' staying in Detroit mezeke - Are u serious dude? the red sox got plenty of money to pay players. Their decision if they want to or not. They obviously felt that damon wasnt worth the money, and they won afterward without him so maybe they were right. Ya know for a team with the second largest market invilids do a lot of trash talking. Why dont u get off ur high horse and stop complaining that damon may not be that stupid to play for the sux. Maybe he knows he's got more of a chance of winning if he stays on the tigers. ha.

If he decides to come to Boston he gives them a solid option at the top of the order, if he stays in Detroit they have prevented him from going to Tampa Bay or the Yankees. That may have been the goal in the first place." They win either way except in the standings, which is the most important part. Theres always next year for the bosox.

They may not have the pitching to make a run deep into the playoff. For us true Saux fans out there...make it a fun stretch by getting JD back in the uniform he belongs in

Somehow going the opposite direction isn't the same?
