Markakis is signed to a 4 year, 44 million dollar contract, which is a few million less than his projected contract.
I like the idea of Markakis being a Brave, but 4 years is a long time for a player his age and injury history.
Jim Johnson is signed to a 1 year, 1.6 million dollar contract with a possible 900,000 in incentives.
Low risk move for bull pen help, I like it. He struggled big time last season but the two years before, he was one of the top closers in the game. He won't be expected to close this season, so maybe the pressure is off and he can provide us with a reliable 7th inning arm.
