Randy Johnson to Arizona for Brandon Medders, prospects
Barring some major snag, Randy Johnson is going to be traded to the Arizona Diamondbacks soon. The New York Yankees and Diamondbacks have been getting closer and closer to reaching a deal that would send the 43-year old left-hander back to his home in Arizona. The Diamondbacks have reportedly agreed to send three players New York's way, including reliever Brandon Medders. Other players from Arizona that might be involved include Micah Owings, Dustin Nippert, or Ross Ohlendorf, all pitching prospects. Owings appeared to be at the top of New York's list recently. The Yankees might be willing to include a pitching prospect to complete the deal. The only thing holding up the deal is how much the Yankees will pay of Johnson's remaining $16 million for the 2007 season.

Phillies working on long-term deal for Chase Utley; maybe Howard, Myers
The Philadelphia Phillies may attempt to sign second baseman Chase Utley to a long-term contract extension before the 2007 season begins. It is possible that they may also work on long-term deals for Ryan Howard and Brett Myers, but the chances that they do that for either of them is unlikely.
Six teams have made offers to Chris Reitsma
It is not yet known which teams made the offers, but the Marlins, Rockies, Devil Rays, Royals, Red Sox, Giants, Indians, Padres, and other teams are interested in the 29-year old right-hander. He has received some multi-year offers and some one-year offers. He has also had serious discussions with at least two teams. The Florida Marlins were not one of them, as they have not yet made an offer to Reitsma. Reitsma posted an 8.68 ERA in 28 innings of relief last season and has a career ERA of 4.58.
