Johnny Damon News: Damon says he will retire if he does not sign with a team before spring training, the Boston Globe reports.

Damon says he will retire if he does not sign with a team before spring training, the Boston Globe reports.

Damon played just 64 games with the Indians last season before being designated for assignment in August. Players often change their minds about retirement, so don't be surprised if he ends up playing somewhere in 2013, even if he doesn't sign with a team before spring training. If Damon does sign a contract, he will likely have a limited role given his lack of production the past few seasons.
