So, remember how we had a post a bit back suggesting Kelly Johnson as a possible addition for the Rays, and how that got shot down largely because of his Type A status? Well, things seem to have changed since then.

According to that MLB Trade Rumors report, players like Johnson (unfortunately not Willingham as well) could lose their Type A status in the new CBA. If this happens, I would say Johnson becomes a lot more attractive for the Rays. Thoughts?
