The Tigers finalized their one-year deal with outfielder Johnny Damon on Monday.

"This is where I wanted to be," Damon said after completing his $8 million contract. "The Tigers were my first choice. I love it here and think I am a good fit."

When it was apparent that the Yankees wouldn't re-sign him, Damon was courted by the Braves, Tigers and White Sox.

"The Tigers are a scary team and the fact that this team has gotten even younger makes it a lot more fun," he said.
