Jon Paul Morosi and Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that there is a “very small” difference of opinion between the Detroit Tigers and free agent Johnny Damon in regards to salary.

Morosi and Rosenthal say that a one-year, $7 million deal is possible, as is a two-year contract for $14 million. Their source says that it is not likely for a one-year deal with a player option for 2011 to happen.

The only other competition to the Tigers is probably the White Sox since the Braves have not intensified their pursuit of Damon in the last week.

Damon, 36, hit .282 with a 24 home runs and 82 RBIs for the World Champion New York Yankees in 2009. You can see Damon’s contract history and statistics here.
