Godzilla crushed a city last night. It was New York Yankees designated hitter Hideki Matsui's(notes) six RBIs pounding at the walls of every Philadelphia Phillies fan home and favorite bar. But this could be Matsui's last call as a Yank. His four-year contract has now ended (as has Johnny Damon's)(notes) and the talk has been for some time that the team won't bring back both, according to the New York Daily News.

General manager Brian Cashman has apparently been saying that he'd like the team to get younger and more athletic and more versatile (and you'd hope cheaper), so paying Matsui a load of dough to DH doesn't seem to fit that mold. Damon is at least out in the field.

Catcher Jorge Posada(notes) will turn 39 next season so he may want to DH some. Alex Rodriguez(notes) may be getting some hip surgery this off-season so this team isn't getting any younger. Though they sure looked like a bunch of 6-year-olds bouncing up and down after the last out last night.

So Yankees fans may want to spend a little extra time cheering for the Series MVP Matsui when he floats by during the parade. Word has it he could be moving to the Great Northwest to play for the Seattle Mariners.

Probably, his knees are shot. If it is, then what a way to go out.

hats off to the man. he had a hell of a series. if he does leave i think that would be a blow too that line-up. he has been good player for them for years. but then agian there the yankees. all they will do is find some FA bat out there. throw out crazy dollar amount and drive the market thru the roof for him........it is what it is.

Yea, I personally think so. Supposedly the situation is that the Yanks will either resign Damon or Matsui. Personally, I rather them keep Damon because he is more valuable. His able to play the field and is a good cotnact lead off hitter. Matsui's body is breaking down and already can't play the field anymore. But lets just enjoy the moment.
