Kelly Johnson

"Mets acquired INF/OF Kelly Johnson from the Braves for RHP Akeel Morris.
Johnson played 49 regular-season games with the Mets last year and made 10 postseason plate appearances in their run to the World Series. He gives New York a versatile left-handed bench bat, though he was sporting a brutal .562 OPS this season in Atlanta. Morris, a 23-year-old former 10th-round pick, holds an ugly 4.62 ERA in 25 1/3 innings of relief this season at the Double-A level. He did have very good numbers in the lower minors."
So, what is more strange...that the Braves keep signing Kelly Johnson, or that the Mets keep trading for him?
