Johnson Wants To Play, Would Accept A Trade

According to MLB.com's Bill Ladson, Nick Johnson will not accept a bench role with the Nationals, who will "most likely look to trade" him. Johnson said he "would rather play every day" than accept a role as a reserve. Now that the Nats added Adam Dunn, Johnson doesn't fit as a starter so he said if the Nationals choose to trade him "that's fine."

Ladson writes that the A's, who have had interest in Johnson, aren't near a deal with the Nats. Oakland doesn't have a clear spot for him either, though.
