Q&A: Randy Johnson: Yankees lefthander Randy Johnson has returned to the American League after 6 1/2 seasons in the N.L. He talked with Insider Ken Rosenthal about his motivation for wanting to play in the Bronx, among other topics, during an interview that will appear Sunday on FOX Sports Net Across America.(Baseball Season Preview)(Interview)
TSN: Why was your heart set on the Yankees?
JOHNSON: I don't think my heart was ever set on the Yankees. But if you're going to trade me and I have the option of picking where I want to go, I think that--no disrespect to the other 28 teams--but I'm going to go where I have an opportunity to win.
TSN: You are 54 wins short of 300. What do you think your chances are of reaching 300?
JOHNSON: If it happens, it happens; it's not why I came here. I've already done more things in my career than I've ever imagined. I've been able to be very fortunate enough to have my name put amongst some of the great power pitchers in this game.
TSN: Which is the bigger issue for you now, knee or back?
JOHNSON: I think the only issue is people bringing it up. Just to look at me from the start of the year to the end of the year. Would you say there is anything wrong with me?
TSN: How much more difficult is it to prepare physically at age 41 than it was at 31?
