NEW YORK (AP) Randy Johnson is going to the Arizona Diamondbacks after agreeing to a $26 million, two-year deal that includes a $12 million signing bonus.

Johnson most likely will take his physical Monday, and the trade probably will be finalized Tuesday.

New York acquired the Big Unit from Arizona two years ago. The Yanks are getting reliever Luis Vizcaino, minor league right-handers Ross Ohlendorf and Steven Jackson, and minor league shortstop Alberto Gonzalez.

Commissioner Bud Selig must approve the trade. The players' association also might want to review the restructuring of his contract.

If the trade goes through, Johnson would join an Arizona starting rotation that includes reigning Cy Young winner Brandon Webb, Livan Hernandez and Doug Davis.
