With a day already filled with Marlins activity, the Marlins are expected to sign veteran third baseman Chris Johnson according to MLB.com’s Joe Frisaro. Johnson spent the beginning of the season with the Atlanta Braves before being dealt to the Cleveland Indians towards the tail end of the 2015 season. Johnson has split his baseball career between the Indians, Diamondbacks, Braves, and Astros.
Unfortunately, Johnson has been anything but a force at the plate in reason years and has ended the previous two seasons with a negative WAR. 2013 was Johnson’s best season ending with a 2.5 WAR and a 127 WRC+ which are respectable numbers.
