The Rockies will be responsible for less than $400,000 of his $6 million salary, making it worth the risk, according to general manager Dan O’Dowd. “He’s someone we want to take a flier on,” O’Dowd said. “You never get a guy like this when he’s going good. But he’s not that far removed from being an all-star and a dominant young closer.” Johnson knew he was going to be traded when the club didn’t provide him luggage for the upcoming road to trip to New Mexico and Colorado Springs. With the Red Sox set at catcher with Jason Varitek and Doug Mirabelli, Johnson is expected to be released with Tampa Bay his likely destination as a free agent. Narverson was acquired from the Cardinals on Aug. 7 as part of the Larry Walker trade. He went 0-3 with a 3.15 ERA in four starts four Double-A Tulsa and had been earmarked for Triple-A Colorado Springs this season. http://0rz.net/720fP Red Sox trade Kim to Rockies Boston acquires Johnson, Narveson, cash from Colorado However, Johnson won't play a game for the Red Sox. Upon making the transaction, the Sox designated Johnson for assignment and then released him. Johnson is expected to wind up with the Devil Rays by early next week. The Red Sox picked up the bulk of Kim's $6 million salary while the Rockies will pay most of Johnson's salary. This spring, Kim was throwing mainly in the mid 80s. During his years as a dominant closer in Arizona, Kim threw in the 90s and had nasty bite to his pitches. 结果洛矶负担了Johnson大部分的薪水 用他加一个从Walker的交易得来的小联盟投手Narveson (幸好不是DenverPost之前提到的Jason Young) 换来了一个只剩mid 80s的投手，还有高度受伤的风险 可以说对於Johnson的大合约，最後我们几乎一无所获 (虽然本来就要认栽了，难怪Devil Rays相信最後Rockies还是会释出他) 但对Boston来说似乎也差不多? --
