Atlanta declined Johnson's $7 million option for 2026 on Thursday, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Johnson has posted a 2.91 ERA and 158:49 K:BB across 139 innings over the past two-and-a-half seasons for Atlanta, so it's a bit of a surprise the club passed on retaining him for a relatively modest sum. The 34-year-old should draw plenty of interest on the open market.
