5:28pm: The deal is for $2.5MM, MLB.com’s Mark Bowman tweets.
5:04pm: The Braves have signed righty Jim Johnson to a one-year deal, the
club announced via press release. Johnson, 32, is a client of Moye Sports
Associates.
With the move, Atlanta has re-acquired one of the many players it traded away
least year. Johnson was a part of the 13-player deadline swap between the
Braves and Dodgers that also saw several more controllable assets change
hands.
Johnson first joined the Braves on a fairly cheap, one-year deal after
enduring a disastrous 2014 campaign. He bounced back nicely, tossing 48
innings of 2.25 ERA ball with 6.2 K/9 against 2.6 BB/9.
But things turned south again once Johnson reported to Los Angeles. He
surrendered 21 earned runs in just 18 2/3 innings of work for the Dodgers.
While he upped his strikeouts (to 8.2 K/9) and held his walk rate to under
three free passes per nine, Johnson was done in by an over-.400 BABIP and 1.4
HR/9 rate in L.A.
The Braves will hope that Johnson can once again steer clear of the control
problems that ruined his 2014 season while continuing to generate something
close to the 58.3% groundball rate he owns for his career. Metrics tend to
think his ultimate 4.46 ERA last season was somewhat unlucky. Another feather
in his cap: Johnson continues to deliver about a 94 mph average fastball, and
even trended up in velocity last year.
Atlanta has long been said to be targeting bullpen upgrades this winter. The
team has relatively few sure things in the pen, though it received a
promising campaign from Arodys Vizcaino and will eventually bring back the
injured Jason Grilli. It’s not immediately clear whether the addition of
Johnson means that the club will bow out of the higher-end pen market —
where it’s been said to have at least done some window shopping — but
Bowman adds on Twitter that “a setup man and another lefty reliever” remain
on the organization’s shopping list.
