Yankees & Diamondbacks agree on Johnson trade
The teams informed the commissioner’s office of the trade specifics, a baseball official said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement had been made.
Arizona would send relief pitcher Luis Vizcaino to the Yankees along with minor league right-handers Ross Ohlendorf and Steven Jackson, and shortstop Alberto Gonzalez, another baseball official said, also on condition of anonymity. The Yankees also would pay between $1.5 million and $2 million of Johnson’s $16 million salary this year.
