December 31, 2004 -- Finally. After more than a decade of pursuing Randy Johnson and particularly a past few weeks in which the 6-foot-10 lefty ace was in their grasp and then wasn't, the Yankees at last secured the top-of-the-rotation pitcher they desired.

The Yanks agreed in principle to send Javier Vazquez, $9 million, Brad Halsey and Dioner Navarro to Arizona for Johnson. Arizona fancied Eric Duncan, but would have received only around $5 million had they accepted the Yanks' top prospect. The Diamondbacks also decided against taking Melky Cabrera and/or Abel Gomez because it would have chipped into the payout.

They could have had $12 million, but wanted Navarro, apparently to ship to Los Angeles as part of package for Shawn Green. Arizona also might redirect Vazquez elsewhere, with the Orioles the most likely destination followed by Detroit and Texas.
