Looks like this sucker may get done yet:

Ironically this comes only a day after the Yankees were hit with a 20 million+ luxury tax bill from MLB.

Good to see that luxury tax system working so dang well. Hey - maybe we should get one of those for the NHL?

Hasn't Randy Johnson almost been a Yankee since the trading deadline? Just get the deal done, this is almost as bad as the Vince Carter trade.

Big Unit is now a Yankee, next up Carlos Beltran. George S. said he will not let the Mets out bid him for Beltran.

He's not showing too many signs of slowing down, but umm, he's going to be 44 when he finishes out that 16m/year contract.

Thank god for the luxury tax or the Yankees would be outspending the GDP of a small african nation.

Oh... wait... nevermind.

Well it was inevitable that the Yankees were going to get him.

If it helps them beat the Red Sox then I am all for it.
