Newsday: Randy Johnson has already agreed to a 1-year extension with the Diamondbacks.

Newsday's Ken Davidoff reports (12:02AM Eastern) details include a $10 million salary for 2008 and waiving of his no-trade clause. So far, Luis Vizcaino is going back to the Bronx, others not yet known.

• "Randy Johnson is now on board with his trade back to Arizona. All that's left is for the Yankees and Diamondbacks to work out their minor differences, and the Big Unit's departure from the Bronx will be complete.

The Yankees and Arizona have advanced far enough in their discussions that Johnson has already agreed, in principle, to a contract extension for 2008 with the Diamondbacks, two people familiar with the situation told Newsday. The trade could take another two or three days to finish, given its complexities.

• Johnson, 43, who is set to make $16 million this season, has accepted -- through back-channel conversations -- a $10-million salary for 2008, in return for waiving his no-trade clause. It's possible that Johnson will help out the Diamondbacks and defer some of his 2007 salary. Ultimately, Johnson will earn a total of $26 million for the next two seasons. Arizona also owes Johnson $40 million in deferred money from the five-time Cy Young Award winner's previous stay with the Diamondbacks, from 1999 through 2004.

It has been established, furthermore, that the Yankees will receive veteran reliever Luis Vizcaino in the deal. As of last night, however, it had not yet been determined which highly regarded young pitcher -- most likely either Dustin Nippert, Ross Ohlendorf or Micah Owings -- would join Vizcaino in heading to New York."

• Davidoff says this deal makes it look like Randy really wants to go home.
