Joe Rutter: Johnson deal dead

Joe Rutter reports that Rox GM O'Dowd and the Bucs have washed their hands of Charles Johnson. It sounds like CJ and his agent held out too long for too much, hoping to leverage Johnson's consent to waive a no-trade clause for a one-year extension.

Rutter reports that the Bucs are looking at other no-hit types. I'm not sure why they can't go to camp with what they got and see what Jose Guillen Humberto Cota and J.R. House can do. If you're going to sign a bullpen catcher to bat eighth and call a savvy game, why does it have to be done before April?
