New York ? The Los Angeles Dodgers withdrew Tuesday from the proposed three-team, 10-player trade that would have sent Randy Johnson from the Arizona Diamondbacks to the New York Yankees.

“As we sit here right now, the deal is no more,” Dodgers general manager Paul DePodesta said during a conference call. “I’ve been saying all along that we weren’t going to do the deal unless it made sense for this club in 2005, and that was not the case.”

Los Angeles would have received right-hander Javier Vazquez from the Yankees along with two top prospects, catcher Dioner Navarro and third baseman Eric Duncan. The Dodgers also would have received pitcher Mike Koplove from Arizona.

Arizona would have landed outfielder Shawn Green and pitchers Brad Penny, Yhency Brazoban and Brandon Weeden from the Dodgers. Along with Johnson, the Yankees would have received pitcher Kaz Ishii from Los Angeles.

“We were probably the most deliberate in approaching it, and at the end of the day, it just wasn’t going to come together and make sense for us,” DePodesta said.

Earlier in the day, an official of one of the teams and a person close to one of the players involved in the trade said the deal had been submitted early Tuesday to baseball commissioner Bud Selig for approval. The two spoke on condition of anonymity.

And the Yankees told Vazquez’s agent that the deal had been submitted, causing the agent to tell the pitcher he had been traded.

But Pat Courtney, a spokesman in the commissioner’s office, said in the afternoon that more documentation had to be submitted before Selig could consider the complex transaction.

DePodesta said he did not speak directly to the Yankees, but Dodgers owner Frank McCourt did.

“There were specific things in this deal that didn’t work out,” DePodesta said. “There were a lot of things to work out, a lot of things that were tentatively agreed on, but still details that we needed to work through.”

Newsday reported on its Web site Tuesday night that Vazquez did not want to play for the Dodgers and refused to travel to Los Angeles for a physical. The paper, citing a source involved in the discussions, cited that as the “primary reason” for the deal’s collapse.

Johnson, a five-time Cy Young Award winner, has asked the Diamondbacks to trade him.

Yankees officials met in Florida on Tuesday with free-agent center fielder Carlos Beltran.
