    It will probably happen...but I remember when the A-Rod trade to Boston was "done" and waiting for league approval. As long as there is another step, it ain't done.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.
  • It aint over til the fat lady singsimage

    we have a winner!
  • Leave it to the D*mn Yankees to get Johnson, and try to buy their way to another championship.

    It's not done yet, and the whole thing still has the possibility of going up in smoke from what I'm reading. DePodesta is no fool, he's not about to make a deal and not have another deal or two already in place, mainly the signing of a free agent (rumored to be Drew, although, Ordonez wouldn't suprise me).

    Trade is not done at all - from ESPN a short time ago:

    The proposed three-team trade that would put Randy Johnson in a Yankees uniform hasn't reached the commissioner's desk, leaving the complex deal no closer to finalization.


    Bud Selig does not have all of the necessary paperwork to review the trade, sources have told ESPN, and it is believed that the Dodgers are still holding up the review process.


    According to The Associated Press, which cited anonymous sources involved in the talks, the Yankees, Diamondbacks and Dodgers signed off on the deal and submitted the paperwork to Selig early Tuesday morning. Arizona general manager Joe Garagiola Jr., quoted on MLB.com, called the report inaccurate and said the Dodgers haven't done their part in moving the deal along to the commissioner's office.

    Wow... I was actually dead on about it a little while ago... the whole deal is off, the Dodgers walked away
  • A friend of mine came over last week and told me "The Yanks got Randy Johnson!!!". So being the semi-sane person I am, I said "Are you sure, you saw a press conference with him wearing a Yankees hat?" "Hell yeah" he replied, and went on about the whole scenario. So, either he had a vision/hallucination, or I'll never believe him again, I don't know which.

    This is the whole thing that the deleted threads were all about -- the Randy Johnson trade?

    Isn't it funny how Yankee fans just assumed that Johnson was going there - just like that? I actually wanted to see it happen - they would have had to give up their only 2 decent prospects from their depleted farm system, leaving them none, and left them an aging team.

    I think its funny someone stated that they are gonna buy another championship. As last year proved the Yanks can keep spending and spending.........Steinbrenner will eventually pull out ALL of his hair.

    It's so refreshing to see a team of home grown and faithful's like the red sox not get into the buying game.

    edited to quip:

    especially in such a limited market as they have.
  • I rather would have seen Mulder or Hudson in pinstripes than another 40 year old. I wish they would look 5-10 years down the road, not one.

    I would still bet that R.J. will be a Yankee, they want him badly and AZ badly wants to trade him, whether the Yanks pony up some dough or work a 3 way trade with the Sox, it will happen. AZ has repeatedly shown interest in Konerko and Garland and the Sox in Vasquez.

    Randy Johnson is telling some Arizona Diamondbacks' teammates that a deal that will send him to the New York Yankees is done, according to the New York Daily News.

    The News, citing unnamed sources, said final trade details are being worked out, and that two scenarios are being considered.
    The two trade possibilities include Yankees pitcher Javier Vazquez, prospects and cash to Arizona in exchange for Johnson. However, the amount of money New York would send depends on the caliber of the minor leaguers.

    In one proposal, the News claims the Yanks would trade Vazquez, Brad Halsey, Abel Gomez and Melky Cabrera (lower-caliber prospects) for Johnson and include about $12 million to make up some of the difference in money owed to Johnson ($16 million next season) and Vazquez ($35.5 million over the next three years).

    The News said the other proposal involves the Yankees dealing Vazquez and higher-rated prospects Dioner Navarro and Eric Duncan for Johnson, while throwing in less money — around $5 million — to essentially complete the trade.


    Go George Go !

  • And they STILL won't win it all as they deplete their farm system even further

    I'm so sick of hearing about this trade - just buy him George, and let's get on with it already...

    And he isn't half the pitcher in the
    postseason as Curt Schilling is.

    You remember what happened last year, don't you ?
    Or did all that time in the woodshed jog your memory ?

    Maybe 'ol George can find a way to sign Barry Bonds, Albert Pujols, and Johan Santana while he's at it. That oughta do the trick.

  • This crying face is an exact replica of
    what murcerfan looked like when the
    NY Yankees became not only the first
    team in baseball history to be forced
    to a game seven after leading 3 games
    to 0, but they got their ---- kicked in front
    of their home fans nonetheless in a humiliating loss.

    The notorious murcerfan was absent from
    these boards a whopping 51 days after
    that humiliation took place.

    This crying face is the exact expression he
    had as he spent 51 days in the RED SOX
    woodshed. Each day brought tears to his face
    as he had visions of upper deck shots by
    Johnny Damon and ground ball outs by
    Payrod and Steriod-boy Sheffield.

    His team is now the official laughing stock
    of Major League Baseball.image

    And, predictably he's back now with visions of another Yankee All-Star team to march through all of the inferior teams of the AL next season. Until of course, the very end. image

    BTW .. the deal looks pretty official.

    I would rather have what the Yankees gave up.
