The Yankees and the Diamondbacks reached an agreement in principle today to send five-time Cy Young Award winner Randy Johnson to the Yankees.
Sources told Newsday today that the Yankees have agreed to send Javier Vazquez, pitching prospect Brad Halsey and catching prospect Dioner Navarro, plus about $9 million in cash, to Arizona for Johnson.
The paperwork for the trade will be sent to baseball Commissioner Bud Selig by Monday. Before the deal is complete, Johnson has to waive his no-trade clause.
The Yankees will try to sign Johnson to a contract extension to get him to waive the no-trade. Also, players involved will need to pass physicals.
