Johnson was traded to the Mets on Wednesday in exchange for minor league pitcher Akeel Morris, ESPN's Adam Rubin reports.

EDGE Analysis

By acquiring Johnson, the Mets add another established veteran to their infield corps. Johnson has primarily played second base this season with the Braves, but his versatility makes him a viable option at the corner infield spots as well. With David Wright sidelined and stopgap options like Ty Kelly and Matt Reynolds struggling to adjust to major league pitching, the acquisition of Kelly is a potentially shrewd move for the Mets as he could be a fixture in the lineup until Wright returns. Johnson will also provide depth up the middle if Neil Walker or Wilmer Flores need days off.
