Atlanta, GA (My Sportsbook) - Pitcher Mike Hampton is reportedly headed to Atlanta to pitch for the Braves, adding a twist to a deal that had him headed from Colorado to the Florida Marlins earlier on Saturday.

After first refusing to waive a no-trade clause, Florida catcher Charles Johnson changed his mind Saturday afternoon, allowing the Marlins and Rockies to complete a six-player deal that apparently sent Johnson to Colorado and Hampton to Florida.

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported Hampton was in turn being traded to the Braves for reliever Tim Spooneybarger and an unnamed prospect. The move may spell the end of Tom Glavine's time pitching in Atlanta, as he is a free agent and has been entertaining offers from the New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies.

The newspaper reported the Braves will pay Hampton's salary the next three years, a total of $35.5 million. However, the Braves reportedly won't have to pay anything in the final three years. The Journal-Constitution reports in an odd agreement, the Marlins will pay Hampton $38 million and the Rockies will give the pitcher the other $5 million. Colorado is also obligated to pay a $19 million deferred signing bonus and a $6 million buyout of a $20 million option year in 2009.

Atlanta's deal for Hampton could be announced Sunday or Monday according to the Journal-Constitution.

Johnson, a Florida native, initially declined to waive his no-trade clause, but apparently changed his mind when agent Scott Boras worked out a detail in the catcher's contract. The Marlins have also agreed to pay a relocation fee clause in Johnson's contract.

The deal, consummated Wednesday, will apparently send Johnson, outfielder Preston Wilson, reliever Vic Darensbourg and infielder Pablo Ozuna to Colorado, with outfielder Juan Pierre going to the Marlins.

The Rockies had been trying to deal the 30-year-old Hampton, who signed an eight-year, $121 million contract before the 2001 season. The lefthander struggled in his two seasons with Colorado, including a 7-15 mark with a 6.15 ERA over 30 games in 2002.

The 31-year-old Johnson hit just .217 with six homers and 36 RBI over 83 games last season. A four-time Gold Glove award winner, Johnson struggled with back and thumb injuries the last year.

Wilson hit 23 homers and drove in 65 runs last season while compiling a .243 batting average over 141 games.

Darensbourg went 1-2 with a 6.15 ERA over 42 games last season.

Ozuna, who played shortstop at the Triple-A level most of 2002, hit .277 in 34 games for the Marlins last season.

The 25-year-old Pierre, a speedy centerfielder, had a .287 average with a homer and 35 RBI in 2002. He also stole 47 bases, second most in the majors.

The 23-year-old Spooneybarger went 1-0 with a 2.63 ERA in 51 appearances last season.
