Johnson met w/ Garigiloa for an hour the other night, so the assumtion if it was simply "would you consider a trade" and johnson saying "No" then it wouldn't take an hour.
I can't see tha Yankees getting him, simply because they don't have the prospects.
Arizona would need 3 players, 2 could be young A or AA the 3rd has to be AAA or ready to pitch in the majors, to sell to the fans.
The rumor is the Sox could deal Youkillis, a minor league catcher (the Sox have 2 good prospects) and a minor league pitcher, I forget the name... but he's supposed to be a top pitching prospect who could pitch in the majors soon.
The "Beef" w/ Garigola and Steinbrenner is Garigola had a deal to sign Wells after the yanks had said they had no intrest and then last min Steinbrenner came in and signed him.
I don't know the issue between the Arizona owner and the Angels owner....
Could be interesting. W/ all the sox free agents, I'm not sure I'd want to giveup 3 young players for Johnson.
Although, a 4man rotation in the playoffs... Pedro, Schilling, Johnson and Wakefield.
