Free-agent outfielder Johnny Damon turned down a one-year, $6 million offer from the Yankees as recently as last week.

Sports Illustrated reported the offer, half of which would have been deferred with no interest.

"We're always open to New York," Damon said on WFAN Friday. "But I think right now we also have to be open to whatever offer comes out now. Because I know [the Yankees] have a full roster right now, [but] I never say never anymore."

The Giants, Braves and Athletics have shown some level of interest in Damon this offseason, but none have come close to signing him.
