Like I said I am obsessed with the trade rumors. Randy and Nomar dancing through my head. I am just not used to those kind of names being thrown around. But in my next post I will show some frightening news on what else could loom on the horizon instead of Nomar and Randy.

Anyways back to the Randy rumors. Johnson is said to be saying it is either the New York Yankees or no where.

New York Yankees or bust?
A person who speaks often with Randy Johnson confirmed Wednesday that Johnson’s public comments this week about a possible trade from the Diamondbacks should be interpreted to mean the Yankees are the only team he is interested in joining.

I really don't see NY and Az working out a deal. Jerry Colangelo and George Steinbrenner HATE each other. George and many owners were insulted when the young upstart Diamondbacks were flashing the cash to prospects and acting like a franchise that was around for 30-40 years. Then there was the incident where the D'backs were on the verge of signing David Wells, when the Yankees swooped in and offered him a contract at the last minute. D'backs management was furious and hold a grudge to this day.

So if that is true, NY or bust for Randy then he will be staying in Az, Nomar will stay in Boston and the Cubs, well we are left with absolute crap to improve the team.

Fantasy Moment: What if the Cubs have been interested seriously in Randy Johnson because they were secretly worried about Prior's arm? That would be the only reason the Cubs may be trying to deal for him alone. But my fantasy goes deeper, what if in this bizarro world we turn around and deal Clement and get Nomar also? Cubs splashing cash like there is no tomorrow, doing two block busters in 1 decade, much less a span of 2 weeks. Cubs fans all over the world would drop dead if that happened. But don't you think it is about time the Cubs risk the hearts of it's fans and shake it's image once and for all of being the lovable losers by doing something out of character for once? If for once season the Cubs could act like the New York Yankees where no player is out of reach or too expensive, let it be this year.
