Damon Close to deal with Cleveland

Cleveland and DH/OF Johnny Damon are close to agreeing to terms on a one-year contract.  Cleveland is in need of outfield help with CF Grady Sizemore on the 60-day disabled list, and the deal is set to include a no-trade clause for the 38-year-old outfielder and an opt-out clause that would allow him to become a free agent after Sizemore returns.  The left-handed hitting Damon, who batted .273 with 16 homers and 73 runs batted in for Tampa Bay last season, is expected to get most of his playing time in left field.
