Johnson's rights were sold to Hiroshima Carp of the Japanese Central League, Mike Berardino of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.

Analysis:

Johnson pitched just 13.1 innings in 2014 before a July demotion, but posted a respectable 10-7 record and 3.48 ERA at the Triple-A level. The 30-year-old will take his skills overseas, with his future in MLB currently uncertain.
