One thing to keep in mind when considering the Yankees’ unwillingness to meet Johnny Damon’s price – and one thing I failed to mention in my recent column about the free-agent outfielder:
The luxury tax.
The threshold next season will be $170 million. The Yankees will surpass that number and, as a repeat offender, pay a 40 percent penalty on every dollar they are over.
