Depending on who you believe, Damon either does or does not have a matter of days to accept a low offer from the Yankees before they move on. Damon himself claims he will have a new team within a week. Cashman is denying the deadline on a Damon offer from Rehab, were he sounds fairly irritable:
How long it’s taking certain people to wake up and smell the coffee, that’s what surprises me. When you get on the phone with agents, they tell you one thing, and certain agents can’t honestly believe what they’re trying to convey. Do they think I’m stupid? Source.
Being deprived of all Tetris and Tetris-based products will do that. Now, it remains to be seen whether Damon will be back in pinstripes or we will have some fourth outfielder type who, when attached to Gardner, we pretend equals a competent third outfielder.

Here's the Heyman article.
Whooooah did Cashman really say that?! He is the crankiest guy ever. Though, as you said, I guess that's to be expected now that they took his Tetris away.
Also, do not believe anything John Heyman says about any Boras client; he's a shill.
If you need something to write about, may I suggest the Mariano Rivera post on TMZ? lulz
Ouch to the last line of the first page of this article.
I saw the TMZ article, and while I was outraged that Mo would swim shirtless, I'm not coming up with anything else.
"How long it’s taking certain people to wake up and smell the coffee, that’s what surprises me. When you get on the phone with agents, they tell you one thing, and certain agents can’t honestly believe what they’re trying to convey. Do they think I’m stupid? Source."
I do believe that after all the bullshit with ARod, the gloves are off between Cash and Boras. (Remember "we won't talk with him in the room?")
Now it looks like he's going to cost us Damon.
That's going to cost him clients, which is, I, contend, A Good Thing.
Though I'd rather see him choking on his dollars and Johnny batting #2 in the order.

yeah, it seems Boras has developed strained relationships with a number of teams in recent years (Boston, Mets come to mind besides Yankees). He certainly misplayed the Damon situation badly, and Cashman's comments are quite clearly directed at him (even if only in part).
