A's Might Get Nothing Out Of Holliday DealThe Matt Holliday experiment in Oakland has not gone according to plan. "Then they've got issues," said an executive of one contender. "Every day that goes by when he doesn't hit any home runs, the price [they can ask in a deal] goes down. So do they just try to [dump] the money? "Or suppose they wind up keeping him all year.

RealGM Note: Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui will both be free agents following this season and so the Yankees will likely look at Holliday as a power right-handed bat for left field.
