The Atlanta Braves have reportedly offered former Yankee outfielder Johnny Damon a one-year deal, but his agent Scott Boras has said he is seeing a two-year contract.

The young rookie will have every opportunity to make the team and could prevent the Braves from engaging in a bidding war for the aging outfielder.
