According to the New York Daily News, the Diamondbacks and Yankees could
finish a Randy Johnson trade this weekend.
Arizona will need to talk to Johnson to extend his contract through 2008,
pretty much guaranteeing he gets his 300th win as a Diamondback. The Yankees
want one of Dustin Nippert, Micah Owings, and Ross Ohlendorf. Nippert seems
to be the prize of the trio.
Meanwhile, the Yankees are getting closer to signing Doug Mientkiewicz to
play first base and could also snag Mark Loretta as a utility infielder.
On the other hand, a source told the Newark Star-Ledger that there's "nothing
imminent" on RJ but things could be resolved within a week anyway.

The Diamondbacks have been the most aggressive suitors for Randy Johnson and
sources close to the negotiations said yesterday that the Yankees and Arizona
could complete a trade to send Johnson back to the desert before next week.
The Diamondbacks, who view Johnson as a gate attraction, want to talk to the
Big Unit about a contract extension, a source said. That would give Arizona a
chance to reap the attendance and buzz benefits of Johnson going for his
300th victory - he will enter next season with 280 wins.
The Yankees, meanwhile, have their eyes on a package of Arizona pitching
prospects. The Diamondbacks are loaded with young talent and if the Yankees
send Johnson home to Arizona - Johnson's home is in the Phoenix suburb of
Paradise Valley - they'd like to get at least two of the following three
pitchers: Dustin Nippert, Micah Owings and Ross Ohlendorf.
Nippert, 25, is a 6-8 righthander who was 13-8 with a 4.87 ERA in Triple-A
last season and lost both his major league starts. Owings, a 6-5 righty, was
6-2 at Double-A and 10-0 at Triple-A. Ohlendorf, a 6-4 righty, spent most of
last season in Double-A, going 10-8 with a 3.29 ERA. Ohlendorf had 125
strikeouts and only 29 walks in 177-2/3 innings.
The Padres, believed to be offering reliever Scott Linebrink, also have been
involved, but the Yankees apparently prefer the players they might be able to
pry from the Diamondbacks. While talks are ongoing, the Yankees have not
brought a deal to Johnson and his agents to approve - Johnson has a full
no-trade clause in his contract.
Johnson, who is coming off back surgery, did not request a trade, but the
Yankees began discussions with other clubs after GM Brian Cashman called
Johnson to offer condolences after Johnson's older brother died recently.
During the call, Johnson told the GM it was important to be close to his
family.
The Yankees don't feel that trading Johnson is a necessity, but they're
willing to listen, and several baseball officials have said privately
recently that the Yankees are working diligently to consummate a deal.
While the Yankees have been pursuing pitchers in their talks with the
D-Backs, Padres and other West Coast teams, it's believed they have made
progress in their plans for the spare parts they need at first base and
utility infielder. A source said the Yankees are zeroing in on Doug
Mientkiewicz to play first while Jason Giambi is the designated hitter, even
though Mientkiewicz is a lefthanded batter.
Also, the source said, Mark Loretta may be the Yankees' first choice to be a
utility infielder. Loretta had hoped to find a job as a regular second
baseman, but hasn't.
