March 11, 2010 Josh Johnson was in midseason form against the Cardinals on Thursday, striking out four and allowing just one hit in three scoreless innings. Our View:If he has a letdown this season after his huge 2009, you will not be able to say you saw it coming this spring. He is firmly entrenched among the upper-echelon of National League starting pitchers. |

January 14, 2010 Updating a previous report, Josh Johnson's new contract extension with the Marlins will be significantly back-loaded, according to Jerry Crasnick on Twitter. Our View:Johnson will receive $3.75M this year, $7.75M in 2011 and $13.75M in the final two years of the deal. This gives the Marlins a little more payroll flexibility this year, so they may be able to keep Dan Uggla through arbitration after all. |

January 14, 2010 According to ESPN's Jerry Crasnick on Twitter, the Florida Marlins and ace Josh Johnson have agreed to a four-year extension worth $39 million. Our View:Looks like the Marlins took MLB's criticism about not spending enough money to heart. Ribbed by the league and the MLBPA to allocate more revenue sharing dollars to player salaries, they did the smart thing by locking up their most valuable pitcher. Johnson's deal is similar to the $38 million extension that Zack Greinke received prior to his Cy Young season, which should make all parties involved very happy. Johnson finished last season 15-5 with a 3.23 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 191 strikeouts in 209 innings. |

January 10, 2010 The Marlins will meet with Josh Johnson's agent sometime next week to discuss a potential contract extension, according to MLB.com. Our View:The arbitration-eligible Johnson will likely make about $4.2 million next season if a multi-year deal isn't worked out. He's apparently looking for a four-year deal and could be on his way out of Florida after the 2010 season if an extension isn't reached. |
