The San Diego Padres reportedly are set to sign right-handed pitcher Josh Johnson to a one-year contract that could be worth $7.25 million.
Johnson, 31 next month, will receive a $1 million base salary and could earn $6.25 million based on the number starts he makes, Yahoo Sports reported.
Johnson missed the 2014 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery in April — the second such surgery of his career.
After spending his first eight seasons with the Florida/Miami Marlins, Johnson was 2-8 with a 6.20 ERA in 16 starts with the Toronto Blue Jays in 2013.
