We're going to try to exhaust the situation with the Yankees before we move forward.
We had a situation where we knew Alex was going to be traded -- but we had to wait and see where he would end up. So we had an oral understanding, a bridge.
The thing I'd say about that is that if Alex is a hypocrite, then everyone who is American and has parents of different heritage and wants to be respectful of that is a hypocrite, too. If that's being a hypocrite, then I'd want to be one. Alex was thoughtfully considering a difficult decision and was trying to make the right decision for him and his family.
The Yankees have never addressed or spoken with me in regard to any off-field activities regarding Alex Rodriguez. And the Yankees have never spoken to Alex regarding any of his off-field activities,
They were doing this for market purposes, not to help the team individually. It's never in best interest of an individual club to disclose which player they're going to tender or not tender. The free agent market has been artificially manipulated by owner conduct.
They had a conversation early in the week. They exchanged some dialogue, and they're going to talk again later.
That's up to the individual player. I think any major league player realizes that ... they've got a career, a future and a reputation inside the game. I don't know what a player will have to gain by disclosing historical facts that have nothing to do with his career.
I'll have to say it's very much it's very much in the air where Johnny Damon's going to be next year.

I'm biased, but I think Johnny was tremendously valuable to the Red Sox, from a couple of standpoints. The first one being what he did for their team and the second one being what he could do to their team if he played for somebody else -- particularly the Yankees.
I heard some very serious things today that made me think there are going to be some clubs that are going to be very aggressive in the free-agent process.
I haven't talked to Greg about it, and he drives the train here.
He spoke to the commissioner and the Major League Baseball Players Association last week and they talked about the benefits of his participation in advancing baseball both nationally and internationally.
He spoke to many Dominican friends and American friends, and many American players. If he was going to play in the classic, he was going to honor his citizenship and play for the United States.
