Beltran in the morning, Johnson in the afternoon
NEW YORK — The Mets scheduled a news conference for Tuesday morning at Shea Stadium to announce their $119 million, seven-year contract with center fielder Carlos Beltran. Three hours later at Yankee Stadium, the Yankees have summoned media to announce they have acquired Randy Johnson from the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Before their deal with Beltran, the Mets gave three-time Cy Young Award winner Pedro Martinez a $53 million, four-year contract and kept Kris Benson for $22.5 million over three years.
The Yankees, who turned down the chance to sign Beltran to a $100 million, six-year deal, added pitchers Carl Pavano ($39.95 million over four years) and Jaret Wright ($21 million over three years), then agreed to pay $9 million to Arizona as part of the Johnson trade and give the Big Unit a $32 million, two-year extension through 2007.
