He might only be a 2nd or 3rd starter, but he is RJ. With only 19 more wins to go with he “should” hit 300 in the next two years as a Diamondback. The trade goes down like this, as reported by RotoWorld.com:

“The Diamondbacks and Yankees have informed the commissioner’s office of the specifics of a Randy Johnson trade, leaving an extension for Johnson the only remaining obstacle.

The Diamondbacks aren’t expected to do the deal unless they can get Johnson signed for 2008. However, that shouldn’t be too much of a problem. The AP confirms the WFAN report that the Yankees will receive Luis Vizcaino, right-hander Ross Ohlendorf and shortstop Alberto Gonzalez in return, but only says that an additional minor league pitcher may be included. WFAN reported that the fourth player would be right-hander Steven Jackson. We’re not particularly high on Ohlendorf or the lesser prospects, but this still isn’t a bad deal for the Yankees. They’ll only be paying $1.5 million-$2 million of the $16 million Johnson is owed next season. Factoring in the luxury tax and Vizcaino’s salary, they’re saving about $18 million here.
