コロラドは高給の二人を出すディールをほぼまとめた(チャールズ・ジョンソンはL.A.へ。ウォーカーはテキサスへ)のに、二人に拒否された。2005年末までの契約が、ウォーカーは$17mil。ジョンソンは$12mil残っている。

Johnson's decision could leave Los Angeles in a tough spot. The Dodgers traded catcher Paul Lo Duca to Florida on Friday and hoped to replace him with Johnson.

Colorado also had become dissatisfied with Johnson's defense this season and was looking to find more playing time for J.D. Closser, considered the team's catcher of the future.
