2025 Projections
Retiring from baseball
Johnson plans to retire from baseball rather than pursue a minor league opportunity with the Giants, Jerry Crasnick of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Johnson's career will go down as a large what-if, an arm with a significant amount of both talent and ailments. The 32-year-old won an ERA title back in 2010 with the Marlins and had established himself as one of the league's best young pitchers, but an unrelenting series of injuries led to him throwing his final major league pitch in 2013. Now, after undergoing a third Tommy John surgery, Johnson is hanging up the cleats.

Johnson underwent his second career Tommy John surgery before the 2014 season and subsequently re-signed with the Padres on a one-year contract for 2015 as he attempted to work his way back onto the mound. His rehab process throughout the 2015 campaign was a story of one step forward with two steps back as he showed signs of improvement only to have lingering issues with his problematic elbow. Those issues came to a head in September when Johnson saw his first live action since 2013 in a rehab appearance at High-A Lake Elsinore in which he faced one batter before leaving the game with elbow soreness. That elbow soreness led to the unfortunate news that Johnson would require a third Tommy John procedure. Obviously, he will miss the 2016 campaign, but his prospects at a 2017 return are murky at best as he will be a 33-year-old at the start of that season with a thrice operated on elbow.
