Scott Boras has been waiting for something resembling a mini-bidding war and he may finally have it with the Tigers and Braves in the mix. As of now, we know that the Braves have offered Damon a one-year deal with some deferred funds, but he could be headed for Detroit if they add a second year or a greater guarantee for 2009. Things are picking up quickly here, so we may finally see a resolution in the coming days.
