Idea: Johnny Damon and the Mets

George King of the New York Post wonders if free-agent OF Johnny Damon could become a possible fit for the Mets, in the event Omar Minaya is unable to sign Jason Bay or Matt Holliday.

…from what i can gather, a whole lot of things will need to go wrong for the Mets to pursue damon… for instance, i believe there is a trade the Mets would turn to first, still on the table, long before damon is an option… i mean, if damon lowers his asking price from three years to one year, maybe he becomes more likely… but, so long as he’s seeking a three-year deal, worth roughly $10 million per year, i just don’t see him on the Mets radar… the Mets will get one of bay, holliday or someone else, i feel or, i should say, i hope
