Tigers make no sense at all
fireboss
He does in that he can play 1st, 2nd, 3rd and corner outfield spots and has some left handed power off the bench. The Tigers have no one with that kind of versatility on the roster. Add to those things that he’d be a short term. low cost veteran addition to a team with payroll issues and he makes sense.
I don’t think it will happen, I’m just laying out the rationale. He does better against the way pitchers sequence games in the NL as opposed to the AL and I think he prefers the NL in general.

They should sign him just so they can trade him to the Mets mid-season.

Came in to say this. As a Mets fan I must point out the Mets have never missed the playoffs in a year they acquired Kelly Johnson!

I agree KJ will be reaquired by mid season

Why not cut out the middleman and save the prospects?

NO! He has to sign with the braves, be traded to the mets mid season, or else it wont work!

big hurt! haha No doubt, we need to get him and flip him. lol

Plus, I’m not sure we want a FULL season of KJ. Let the Braves pay him & give him unproductive playing time for 3.5 months, then we’ll take him from there. I don’t think what we’ll have to pay will count as “prospects.”

The 4th time with the team why not

Maybe he’s romantically involved with someone I’m the Braves front office

And they always break up about mid season. Then they make up in the offseason, so he comes back

Mets trade for Kelly Johnson

Kelly Johnson is forever linked with the Braves and Mets, just as his namesakes Howard, Van, Olson, Dr. Sam, and Gabby Johnson are forever linked with Rock Ridge in Blazing Saddles.

I’ll bet that Kelly only eats one flavor of ice cream, too.

Hey why not hell we sign the same old veterans seems like every year. Go Braves

Makes some sense since he brings some versatility and they lost Sean Rodriguez for the season.
Monkey’s Uncle
Maybe he can do a tour of the AL Central like he did for the AL East. Johnson has not only played for all 5 AL East teams, he played for them in consecutive order: Toronto 2011-2012, Rays 2013, and then split 2014 between the Yankees, Orioles and Red Sox.

Keeping him over Peterson would be a huge mistake. Peterson is superior in every category except power, which Johnson is average at best in.

Brett Lawrie and Tyler Saladino appear to be available in Chicago, wondering why they haven’t drawn more interest

Braves has made a great thing by picking up Rex Brothers. All of you will see , he will be in the new ballpark
