Free-agent outfielder Johnny Damon is ready to start looking around for options other than returning to the Yankees.

"I am going to start looking around. Teams are getting better and there are teams interested," Damon told The New York Post. "I can't wait forever and I am sure [the Yankees] are trying to figure things out. I have to be ready."

Damon wants to return to the Yankees, but the World Champions aren't willing to give him more than a two-year deal worth around $10 million annually.

Agent Scott Boras says that Damon deserves a three or four-year deal worth at least the $13 million annually he earned in 2009.
