The Big Unit back to D-Backs?

[hockeytown]

Looking like both teams have agreeded to trade that would send Randy Johnson back to Arizonia for Luis Vizcaino and a couple of minor leaguers.

I like this deal for the Yankees. Really weird that the Yankees keep trading veterans for prospects this offseason, I think it's a good idea but not what most expect from New York.

Very nice trade, good to hear Johnson back as a diamondback!

I never found this in print but one of my Yankees friends said that Johnson never felt comfortable in NY and wanted to be traded back to the D-Backs. Not sure if that is true but just something that I had heard so deal makes sense for all parties involved.

freeing up money for Clemens or Mientkiewicz??? Luis Vizcanio was terrible as a Brewer and now gets to play with the Yankees, there is no Justice

He never felt comfortable there because he blew chunks on the mound. If he has a resurgence in AZ, I'll buy it, but if he is still as bad as he has been of late I'd say hang up the spikes bean pole!

He's toast,was kinda hoping the Yanks kept him as the Sox really hammered him.
