The Curt Schilling to New York rumors are heating up, according to SI.com's Tom Verducci:

"Yankees owner George Steinbrenner, having made quick strikes for Mike Mussina, Jason Giambi and Hideki Matsui in the past three offseasons, has put Diamondbacks right-hander Curt Schilling atop his wish list this year, and it could take a three-way deal -- and a pile of cash, of course -- to make it happen. The Yankees are considering a trade for Schilling that would send first baseman Nick Johnson to Arizona, who would then flip Johnson and pitcher John Patterson to Milwaukee for first baseman Richie Sexson, according to one source familiar with the talks. "

On espn radio last week Schilling came across as very much against a trade to New York.

Why are the Yankees so eager to move Johnson? Almosts every trade rumour I hear has them shipping him out.

With Giambi's recent injury trouble, and Johnson's age and cheap contract you would think they would want to hang on to him.
(I'm a little biased because Johnson is one of my favorite current players)

Johnson might be highly valued right now, which makes him easy to trade...

Johnson is the Yankees' most tradeable commodity, excepting perhaps Soriano.

Based on Verducci writing it I don't see it happening.

Side note: Are the Yankees looking at Johnson in this "deal" the way Boston looked at Hillenbrand?
