* The New York Yankees' possible trade of Randy Johnson to the Arizona Diamondbacks has hit a roadblock. According to the New York Daily News, the deal has slowed down due to issues with possible restructuring of Randy Johnson's contract. The problem is that the Diamondbacks already owe him about $40 million in deferred money and are trying to work it into a deal. As well, Randy Johnson would like an extension on his current deal & the Diamondbacks are trying to get Yankees to eat some of the contract. In turn, the Yankees would like young talent in return for their minor league system.
