I traded a few emails with Josh Johnson’s agent, Matt Sosnick, over the weekend about the continued rumors and speculation about his client. Long story short:
“I would be shocked if [Josh Johnson] was traded before the season started,” said Sosnick via email
Yep, that’s about what I expected and in line with what Buster had to say on Sunday:

Things have been, as expected, relatively quiet in Yankeeland the last few days, other than the completely unsurprising news that Roy Halladay would be open to a trade to the Yanks (Wow Roy, you’d be willing to accept a trade to the defending World Champions?
