NEW YORK — Randy Johnson could be leaving the New York Yankees after just two seasons.The Yankees have started trade talks with several teams, including the Arizona Diamondbacks, although it is too early to tell whether the discussions will lead to a deal.Talks were confirmed Monday by a baseball official who had knowledge of them and spoke on condition of anonymity because they are in the preliminary stage.Alan Nero, one of Johnson's agents, said he was informed of trade talks by Yankees general manager Brian Cashman.Johnson has a no-trade clause, meaning the 10-time All-Star must approve any deal. Nero said it was too early to say whether Arizona would be the pitcher's first choice if the Yankees do decide to trade the 43-year-old left-hander.
