So much for that idea

"I'm excited,'' Johnson said. "It sets up me and my family for life. One of the best parts is knowing where I'm going to be the next four years. I won't have to hear about any trade rumors or anything like that. I'm happy to be in South Florida.''

That's funny to read. He won't have to hear about any trade rumors in 2010, since his salary will be $3.75M. But once it jumps up to $7.75M in '11, & higher after that... yeah, he's going to hear about plenty of trade rumors.

This four year deal would make me even more eager to trade for him... that said, he's not going anywhere, but maybe a trade target in 1-2 years

Maybe this ties into the recent pressure the Marlins have been getting from both MLB and the MLBPA to spend more money.

That deal is a blueprint for the Brewers to use with Gallardo.

Would have loved to pull off a trade for this guy. There goes that idea. Good deal for him and the Marlins though.
