Didn't like Kyle Farnsworth as a relief pitcher? Hang on, he might be a starting pitcher for the Royals this year.

"Kyle Farnsworth is competing for a job in the rotation," pitching coach Bob McClure revealed Wednesday.

Johnny Damon has an offer in hand from the Braves, writes David O'Brien, who indicates the offer could be for about $4.5 million. Mark Bowman of MLB.com is reporting the offer is for less than $4 million in salary and deferred money; you wonder if Mark's sources are referring to present-day value, given the deferred salary.

There is speculation among some of Damon's friends that in a perfect world, he'd like to play for a team that has spring training near his Florida home -- like the Braves or the Rays or Tigers. This could be why team Damon never seriously considered overtures from the Athletics.

Damon's financial parameters for his next deal seem to be shrinking in size, rather than growing. The Yankees had talked internally at the outset of the offseason of perhaps negotiating a Bobby Abreu-like two-year deal for something in the range of $19 million -- but never made that offer when Damon's side initially wouldn't entertain the idea of a pay cut. The Yankees made two separate offers to Damon, the first for two years and $14 million, and then the second for $6 million. Oakland might have been willing to sign him for a $6 million salary.

And now the offer from the Braves could apparently be worth something in the range of $4 million, in present-day value.

The Tigers say they're not close on any possible Damon deal, writes Tom Gage.

Tigers owner Mike Ilitch has authorized a two-year, $14 million offer to free-agent outfielder Johnny Damon, according to major-league sources.
