Braves Non-Tender Kelly Johnson
1:32pm: The Braves will not tender Johnson an offer, according to David O'Brien of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution (via Twitter). Johnson made $2.8MM in a disappointing year for Atlanta.
11:48pm: The Braves are trying to trade second baseman Kelly Johnson according to FoxSports.com's Ken Rosenthal. If they can't work out a trade by midnight ET tonight, Johnson will be non-tendered.
Earlier this week we learned that Atlanta was getting nibbles on Johnson, however we haven't heard anything since. The 27-year-old hit just .224/.303/.389 last season, and has seen all three triple-slash stats decline for three straight years. UZR/150 has consistently rated Johnson's defense as below average.
