Denver, CO (My Sportsbook) - The Colorado Rockies acquired catcher Charles Johnson on Monday from the Florida Marlins as part of a six-player deal. The Rockies also got outfielder Preston Wilson, pitcher Vic Darensbourg and infielder Pablo Ozuna from the Marlins.

The Rockies sent pitcher Mike Hampton, outfielder Juan Pierre and cash considerations to the Marlins. Hampton was in turn dealt to the Atlanta Braves. The Braves got Hampton and minor league pitcher Ryan Baker in exchange for pitcher Tim Spooneybarger.

The trade between the Rockies and Marlins is contingent on all players passing physicals.

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 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.

The 28-year-old Wilson hit 23 homers and drove in 65 runs last season while compiling a .243 batting average over 141 games. He has stolen at least 20 bases in the last three seasons.

Darensbourg went 1-2 with a 6.14 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.
