Jim Johnson is headed back to The A.
The Atlanta Braves have agreed to bring back the right-handed reliever on a one-year deal, the club announced Monday.
The 32-year-old will reportedly earn $2.5 million for the year, according to Jon Heyman of CBSSports.
Johnson opened the 2015 campaign with the Braves, but was sent to the Los Angeles Dodgers in a three-team trade in July. However, he underperformed in California, racking up a 10.13 ERA in 23 games, a 2.04 WHIP, and only one save.
It was a stark contrast for Johnson, who was impressive just previously in Atlanta, where he threw a solid 2.25 ERA over 48 innings pitched and picked up nine saves.
