There are conflicting reports on the Randy Johnson trade today, a blogger from MVN is saying the deal is done, the NY Daily news says it has hit a snag. Which source is more reliable is debatable.
The Daily news is saying that the Diamondbacks are hung up on the extension for the Unit, believing they want to tie some of the deferred $40 million they owe Johnson to any extension. Johnson is apparently opposed to this, which is understandable. The deal appears to be for 2 or 3 prospects. Some reports are saying the quality and quantity of the prospects could be dependent on how much of the Unit's 2006 salary the Yanks are willing to absorb.
If this deal gets done, I'm going to have to eat some crow. I've been bashing Brian Cashman pretty hard this off season for continuing to make the Yankees' clubhouse look like a nursing home. It was mainly due to the signing of Pettitte and the rumored trade of Melky Cabrera. If the Unit goes and Melky stays Cashman is definitely moving the team in the right direction by stockpiling young talent. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

while we all know it would be a great day in the bronx if we moved the unit and his salary for some youth... the depressed fan need to give a full page article to inducting the greatest yankee since the mick (donnie baseball) into the hall of fame. While the dep fan and i dont see eye to eye on the giants eagles game we both know that donnie deserves to be in the hall of fame (whether i'm running from my bookie or not) he played with heart on years of losing teams and only his degenerate back kept him numbers wise from being one of the best ever.. lets get rid or randy and give ur vote to donnie for the hall, he deserves it!!
