ANALYSIS
Johnston is the type of fringe prospect one would expect to change hands for two months of a reliever like Hudson. The 23-year-old righty was a sixth-round pick in 2017 and logged a 4.03 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 100 strikeouts in 105 innings at High-A this season. He will need to be added to Toronto's 40-man roster this offseason in order to be protected from the Rule 5 draft.
