Josh Johnson signed a one-year deal with the San Diego Padres on Tuesday.
The Padres will pay Johnson $8 million with the right hander having the ability to earn an additional $1.25 million if he makes 26 starts. If he makes fewer than seven starts, the Padres would get a $4 million option for 2015.
Johnson is looking for a nice bounce-back after disappointing 2013 season. He could not have asked for a better landing spot than the cushy confines of Petco.

The Padres rotation is at an interesting place. As Nate discussed in an excellent post about cat puke and other things, the Padres have a deep crop of potential starting pitchers lined up for the 2014 season. But while there are a slew of potential contributors, they all carry a form or two of unpredictability. On one hand there’s some recent major league success, good stuff,...
