"Obviously, I'm going to have a lot of options," Damon said, "and I think what it comes down to is what kind of option the Yankees want to give me or not give me. Why wouldn't I want to come back? We have the best owners in baseball. We have the best team. We have the most revenue and the biggest payroll, so who wouldn't want to be part of the Yankee tradition? I would like to continue mine and I feel like I can come back and do a great job again."
