Randy Johnson deal is all but done
It looks like Johnson will be back in Arizona, possibly as soon as today. A baseball official stated yesterday that a deal that would send the Big Unit from the New York Yankees to the Arizona Diamondbacks was nearing completion. Some details need to be worked out, primarily whether the Yankees are going to eat some of Johnson's 2007 contract or whether the Diamondbacks will pay it in full. Other than Johnson, it is not officially known what players will be involved, although it appears that Arizona reliever Brandon Medders will be the key component heading to New York. Also, it looks like Micah Owings may be the key prospect headed to the Yankees, and if he is not in the deal, expect Dustin Nippert and/or Ross Ohlendorf to be involved. All three are pitching prospects.
Orioles make offer to Aubrey Huff
The contract is rumored to be a three-year deal worth somewhere around $18 million.
Ryan Howard fires agent; looking for contract extension
Phiadelphia Phillies' first baseman Ryan Howard has fired his agent, Larry Reynolds. Whomever Howard chooses as his new agent will most likely be able to work with the Phillies very quickly. Despite hitting a league-leading 58 home runs last season, Howard made only $335,000, making him one of baseball's best bargains. He is not arbitration eligible until next year, but he and the Phillies would like to get a deal done as soon as possible.
