Though Johnson was the very first player acquired by the Seattle Mariners (purchased from the Orioles prior to the 1976 Major League Baseball expansion draft), and had a 1977 Topps baseball card that showed him as a Mariner, Johnson did not make the team out of spring training. He was sold to Minnesota in May, and spent the 1977 and 1978 seasons with the Twins.
