No one wants to trade for Chris Johnson

Eighteen months ago, as Frank Wren and the Braves went on a contract extension spree, there were a lot of smart decisions made. Locking up Freddie Freeman and Andrelton Simmons looks great right now, and the extension given to Craig Kimbrel likely made moving him to the Padres easier given the cost certainty. The jury is still out on Julio Teheran.

The one extension that never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, (ever) made any sense was Chris Johnson's deal worth three-years and $23.
