Reposted on: 16.12.11 2029.02 | From Newsday:
The Yankees would receive the 41-year-old Johnson in the deal while sending pitcher Javier Vazquez and two minor-league prospects, catcher Dioner Navarro and third baseman Eric Duncan, to the Dodgers, according to an Arizona source. The Dodgers would send pitchers Brad Penny and Yhency Brazoban and outfielder/first baseman Shawn Green to Arizona to complete the deal.
Not a bad deal for all involved. Dodgers get younger and shed $24 million in Green/Penny. Diamondbacks get a younger #2/3 starter (albeit an injured one) in Penny. There must be some cash involved, because Arizona is actually taking on more salary, but nothing else they have done lately has made much financial sense... | Promote this thread! |             | BigVitoMark

Reposted on: 17.12.11 0448.00 | | I don't think that's much of a trade for the Dodgers at all. They've already lost Adrian Beltre, you never know what's going to happen with Milton Bradley, and now Shawn Green is out as well. Is Jeff Kent supposed to make up all that offense? Unless the Dodgers have another couple of moves to be made with their lineup they could have big problems this year. | Grimis

Reposted on: 17.12.11 0623.04 | Until Shawn Green waves his no-trade, this is not going to happen. And from the sounds of it, he does not want to leave LA.
This trade makes absolutely no sense for the Dodgers. Vazquez is not a significant upgrade over Penny considering that you had to dump Brazoban and Green to get him. And Navarro and Duncan and just that: prospects. That's three quality major-leaguers for another major leaguer and hope. You'd at least think they would try to pick up another established bat or at the very least dump Weaver while they were at it.
EDIT: ESPN is also reporting that the deal may be on the verge of collapse...

Reposted on: 17.12.11 2316.30 | | For the record, Penny has what's been described as a freak arm injury. If I dig up the ESPN article I'll post it, but maybe an LA W can get my back. I believe has a nerve problem that his doctors can't really diagnose beyond "it's a nerve problem in his arm." Vazquez, IMO, would be filthy in Chavez. | BigVitoMark

Reposted on: 18.12.11 0216.14 | | I would bet on Vazquez having a good season in LA. He had great stuff in Montreal, and if I had to guess I'd say it's more likely the NY pennant chase pressure broke him down rather than he just woke up one morning and forgot how to pitch. Having said that, he's going to have to be filthy and then some, since it appears the Dodgers are going to try and win all their games 1-0 this year. | jfkfc

Reposted on: 21.12.11 0756.50 | Looks like Kaz Ishii will be included in the deal and sent to NY. Having never seen him pitch, can anyone give me an opinion on him? As this deal goes through, it makes the Yanks rotation:
Johnson
Mussina
Pavano
Brown
Wright
Is Ishii good enough to keep the Yanks looking to deal Brown, thus opening a spot for him? | SC

He walks way too many people and if you take him out of Dodger Stadium there's a good chance he'll put up well over a 5+ ERA. He's not very good. | JayJayDean

I saw that, and found it very odd that the Yankees were getting money, especially considering that they were going to offer Jonhson an extension at $16-$18 mil/per. | Whitebacon

Reposted on: 22.12.11 0744.58 | The deal really didn't make a lot of sense from the Dodgers' perspective.
They were giving up:
Shawn Green
Yhency Brazoban
Brad Penny
Kaz Ishii
for:
Javier Vazquez
Mike Koplove
Dioner Navarro
Eric Duncan
Two starting pitchers and a very good reliever, plus an expensive pseudo-slugger for two prospects and one failed Yankee starter and a reliever. That makes little sense from the Dodgers' side and I think they woke up over the weekend and smacked themselves on the forehead. | Grimis

Reposted on: 22.12.11 1907.47 | | There was word going around that Vazquez was going to refuse to report for a physical in LA which, while most likely just a ploy on his part to stall the deal, has to be a red flag when you're trading for a starting pitcher. It could also be that, since the deal was agreed do before the Dodgers lost Beltre, DePodesta did whatever he could to call the thing off. Either way, that trade would have been the death knell for the Dodgers '05 season, so lucky for them it didn't go through. | jfkfc

Reposted on: 29.12.11 1353.15 | Well word out of the local bars here in Phoenix is that WHEN Johnson goes to the Yankees, we want Posada. With the way our D-Backs have been burning money this off season I wouldn't be too surprised to see a free agent catcher come our way. Maybe one of my beloved former Twins AJ. Didn't the Giants release him?
