The only trade of any significance the Dodgers made in the offseason came in mid-December, when they squeezed into a deal between the White Sox and Reds, sending prospects to Cincinnati and receiving three other prospects from the White Sox. Frankie Montas was definitely the headliner of the group and fans seem to be excited about splash brother sibling Trayce Thompson, but there isn’t a lot of hype around Johnson.
Johnson was the White Sox’ opening day second baseman last season, but was demoted in May. When Johnson was recalled in September, his struggles transferred to the plate.
