Re: Yanks looking for blast from the past, Nats Johnson
The Yankees aren't trading Hughes and Tabata for Johnson. However, trading Duncan and one of the pitchers they got from the Sheffield deal [not Sanchez] I can see happening.
Bowden can say and do what he wants, but seeing what Soriano went for, makes you realize someone would have anted up for the guy. I think he is under a lot of pressure to improve the team after his colossal screw up with Soriano. Expect his asking price to come down a bit with all of his players, not just Nick Johnson.
Plus, outside of the Twins, there aren't really any top notch lefties in the AL, especially if Zito leaves for the Mets.
