Big Unit returning to Diamondbacks

Yankees trading 5-time Cy Young winner to his former team


NEW YORK - The Yankees and Arizona reached a tentative agreement Thursday on a trade that would send Randy Johnson back to Arizona, a move that allows the Big Unit’s agents to get him a contract extension.
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.
