랜디 존슨, 샌프란시스코 행

다저스가 고려하고 있는 선발투수중에 한명이었던 랜디 존슨이 샌프란시스코와 계약을 했다고 AP통신이 전하고 있군요. 일단 하나의 옵션이 사라졌군요.

그럼 다저스는 누구를 영입하게 될지..일단 홈페이지에서 거론을 했던 투수중에서는 랜디 울프와 존 갈랜드가 남았군요. 양키즈와 앤디 페티티의 계약이 힘들어 진것 같은데 다저스가 페티티의 영입전에 뛰어 드는것은 아닌지 모르겠습니다.

SAN FRANCISCO (TICKER) —Randy Johnson has found a team willing to let him continue his run at history.

The San Francisco Giants on Friday announced that they have signed the 45-year-old Johnson to a one-year contract.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

The lefthander is five wins shy of becoming the 24th pitcher in major league history to reach 300 in his career.

A five-time Cy Young Award winner and a 10-time All-Star, Johnson is second on the career strikeout list with 4,789. His 295 career victories currently rank sixth among lefthanders.

“We are extremely excited to bring Randy Johnson to the Giants organization,” San Francisco general manager Brian Sabean said. “Randy continues to be one of the most intimidating and competitive pitchers in baseball today. He commands respect and will have a dramatic influence on the way the 2009 team conducts business.”

A 21-year major league veteran, Johnson owns a 295-160 record with a 3.26 ERA in 596 games - 586 starts - with Montreal, Seattle, Houston, Arizona and the New York Yankees. He has tossed a pair of no-hitters, including the 15th perfect game in regular season history on May 18, 2004 at Atlanta.

Johnson joins 2008 NL Cy Young Award winner Tim Lincecum, righthander Matt Cain and 2002 AL Cy Young Award winner Barry Zito in the Giants’ rotation.

The 6-10 Johnson posted an 11-10 record with a 3.91 ERA in 30 starts for Arizona last season, recording a 2.41 ERA after the All-Star break.
