The Mets are adding Derek Johnson in an advisory role, bringing in a veteran pitching mind with a decade of big-league coaching experience. Johnson spent the past several years with the Reds, where he helped develop Hunter Greene and Chase Burns before stepping away for personal reasons in June. He will join a New York staff that got uneven results from its rotation last season and is looking to build around young arms like Nolan McLean and Christian Scott.
