 The right-hander was acquired by Toronto in a blockbuster trade
with Miami last offseason but went 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA 16
appearances this year. He missed significant time with a triceps
injury.
The 29-year-old Johnson had arthroscopic surgery to remove a bone
spur in his elbow at the end of the season. He made his big league
debut with the Marlins in 2005 and has a career record of 58-45 with
a 3.40 ERA.
A two-time All-Star, Johnson led the NL with a 2.30 ERA in 2010, but
injuries have been a problem lately. He made only nine starts for
the Marlins in 2011 and finished 8-14 with a 3.81 ERA in 191 1-3
innings the following year.
Johnson and the Padres reached a deal Tuesday. [Associated
