After the Los Angeles Dodgers pulled out of the proposed three-team deal with the Arizona Diamondbacks and New York Yankees centering on Randy Johnson, the Dodgers have agreed to trade an original piece of that swap to the Diamondbacks.
First baseman/outfielder Shawn Green will head to Arizona in exchange for minor leaguers. ESPN's Peter Gammons reports that Arizona will receive Green and approximately $8 million from the Dodgers for Yankees prospect Dioner Navarro, whom Arizona will obtain in the Johnson trade, and two other players.
The Los Angeles Times reports that the deal could be related to, but does not depend on the Johnson deal. If that deal does go through, The Times reports L.A. would receive Navarro and a pitching prospect. If the Johnson trade is not completed, the Dodgers would get a young catcher -- either Koyie Hill or Chris Snyder -- and the same pitching prospect, as yet unknown.
Either proposal is contingent on the Diamondbacks and Green coming to agreement on an extension.
Gammons believes this may free the Dodgers to sign free-agent right-hander Derek Lowe.
