Kelly Johnson returning for a third stint with the Braves seemed a perfect fit for the team and for the versatile veteran, who has long made his home in Atlanta and felt back at home with the Braves last year.
“It’s a really good feeling first of all for them to want me back, and then to have the opportunity to talk about it and make it happen,” said Johnson, who agreed to terms Wednesday on a one-year, $2 million deal that was finalized Friday after he passed a physical.
To open a roster spot for Johnson, the Braves waived outfielder Joey Terdoslavich, who was claimed Friday by the Baltimore Orioles.
