Randy Johnson has yet to come out and say that he wants to pitch in 2009, but one of his agents believes that he will do so.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will certainly offer Adam Dunn salary arbitration, and since he is a Type A free agent, they will get two Draft picks as compensation when he signs elsewhere.

Diamondbacks' outfielder Eric Byrnes had a no-trade clause built into his contract last winter, but he appears to be warming to the idea of dropping the clause.
