Uses one of the 40-man spots we cleared, for better or worse.
I like Johnson as somewhat of a bounce-back candidate. Didn't realize he had been DFA'd. Coming off a bad year, but at the time he was traded to LAD in the Peraza deal, many (most?) felt he was a better prospect than Peraza.
A great pickup. He's just a year from being a top prospect. Good gamble.
I'll be the first to say it:
This trade frees up Albies to be traded for an Ace!
A top prospect? I don't see a single reference to him being a Top 100 guy on his MiLB player page:

Sometimes I wonder where you come up with the "info" you post. You just make it up most of the time?
Now it's time for you to call me a jerk for posting facts that counter your incorrect statements. Please be ready to change your signature.

I approve of this. Johnson just turned 26 so he's still on the upside of his career. With his speed if he can transition the contact ability he's shown at times in the minors to the majors, he might be a useful piece. A no risk move with a bit of upside.
Could be a good super sub at the least, potential to realize his abilities and be more. Price will set how good this was, but shouldn't hurt.
