CONTRACT INFO: 2009: Avoided arbitration by re-signing with the Cubs on a one-year, $3 million contract
 Manny Ramirez-OF- DodgersFeb. 2 - 10:09 pm et
Dodgers manager Joe Torre said he will attempt to give more off days to veterans Manny Ramirez and Casey Blake this season.
"We're going to look at that, the daytime stuff, and Blake also," Torre said. "It looks like we have the bench to do that. With Reed Johnson, we can also rest Andre Ethier and not have to relocate Matt Kemp." Ramirez should like this news, as he complained last season that his legs were wearing down from playing the outfield.

 Reed Johnson-OF - Dodgers Feb. 2 - 8:59 am et

Dodgers signed OF Reed Johnson to a one-year, $800,000 contract.
Johnson can earn another $250,000 through performance bonuses based on games played and plate appearances. The 33-year-old was limited to 65 games last season because of a fractured foot, but he hit .255/.330/.412 with four home runs and 22 RBI during the 165 at-bats he was healthy. He's expected to play all around the outfield this year for the Dodgers.
 Reed Johnson-OF - Dodgers Feb. 1 - 9:16 pm et

According to Dylan Hernandez of the Los Angeles Times, Reed Johnson has passed a physical for the Dodgers and his one-year deal is now final.
That was quick. Johnson, who just turned 33, hit .255/.330/.412 with four home runs and 22 RBI during the 165 at-bats he was healthy last season. He will serve in a utility outfield role for the Dodgers this year. The exact financial details of the contract should be forthcoming.

 Reed Johnson-OF - Dodgers Jan. 31 - 3:50 pm et

FOXSports.com's Ken Rosenthal reports that the Dodgers are making a "hard run" at free agent outfielder Reed Johnson.
Rosenthal adds that a "deal may be close or already done," so talks have clearly reached a serious stage. Johnson, 33, was limited to 65 games last season because of a fractured foot. He hit .255/.330/.412 with four homers and 22 RBI during the 165 at-bats he was healthy and will serve as a utility outfielder next year in Los Angeles if (or when) a deal is struck.

 Jose Contreras-S - Phillies Dec. 28 - 4:41 pm et  

The Cubs have interest in free agent right-hander Jose Contreras, according to ESPN Chicago's Bruce Levine.
Chicago has spoken to Contreras' agent, Jaime Torres. If signed, he would slot in the back of the rotation or as a long man out of the bullpen. Levine's report also said Cubs general manager Jim Hendry's top two free agent outfield targets are Marlon Byrd and Scott Podsednik, in that order. The Cubs have also spoken to the Rockies about a possible swap for Ryan Spilborghs, who would slot in as a versatile fourth outfielder, a role previously held by Reed Johnson.

 Reed Johnson-OF - Dodgers Dec. 24 - 1:41 pm et

Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports that the Yankees are "talking regularly" with the representatives for free agent outfielder Reed Johnson.
He's not an exciting name, but Johnson would be a creative solution for the Bombers' outfield. Johnson, 33, can play all three outfield positions and has a .313/.378/.463 lifetime line against left-handed pitching. Limited to just 65 games last season due to a fractured left foot, Johnson batted .255/.330/.412 with four home runs and 22 RBI in 165 at-bats.
