Dodgers close to deal with Reed Johnson

Reed Johnson's blog, which I enjoyed last season, may not be coming back since it appears that Johnson's not going to a Cubbie next year.  This is not unexpected with the signing of Xavier Nady as the Cubs fourth outfielder.

Now it is being reported that the Dodgers are close to reaching a deal to bring Reed Johnson to L.A. to be their fourth outfielder.  No word as to how much the deal may be worth to Johnson.

Johnson batted .255 with four home runs and 22 runs batted in last year in a season in which he sat out nearly two months because of a broken foot.  Part of Johnson's value is that he can play all three outfield positions.



The opening for Johnson to potentially be the Dodger's fourth outfielder came when the Dodgers traded another former Cub Juan Pierre to the White Sox.
