The last domino fell Friday when the Braves, after trying for 10 months to unload the contract of Chris Johnson, finally did it by trading the third baseman to the Cleveland Indians for veteran outfielders Michael Bourn and Nick Swisher and about $15 million in cash.

Both Bourn and Swisher are expected to be uniform for Saturday’s game against the Marlins, and Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said he hasn’t decided yet how he’ll use Bourn and fellow center fielder Cameron Maybin, though it one or both is likely to see some time in left field.

“We got back a guy that we really love here: Michael Bourn,” Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said of the center fielder who had 42 stolen bases in an All-Star season for the Braves in 2012, before going to the Indians as a free agent. “I think we add a great personality in the clubhouse in Swisher. I talked to him this afternoon; he was excited to get going. He’s a guy that could help us fill the void along with (Joey) Terdoslavich at first base with (Freddie) Freeman being out for a couple of weeks.

“But I’m excited to see Michael Bourn, I really am. He’s one of my favorite all-time players.”

Swisher, 34, has struggled for two injury-plagued seasons and missed much of the this year with an inflamed knee. But the Braves said he looked good in recent rehab games, and he’s going to be activated from the disabled list and could be in the lineup at first base Saturday, Gonzalez and president of baseball operations John Hart said.

Swisher has hit .198 with two homers and a .261 OBP in 30 games (111 plate appearances) this season.

The Braves hope to have recently acquired Cuban third baseman Hector Olivera off the disabled list (hamstring strain) and into their lineup within two weeks, and were comfortable with their third-base situation despite traded Juan Uribe and corner infielder Kelly Johnson to the Mets two weeks ago.

“We feel like Michael Bourn fits us better than Chris Johnson does right now with Olivera and (rookie Adonis Garcia) and the fact that we’ve got some third base depth,” Hart said. “It’s going to fit us better player-wise. And the economic component – it takes two to tango in a deal. I think for us, a part of it was the flexibility we’re going to have going into ’17. That’s going to be extra dollars that we’re going to be able to have then.

“And I think for Cleveland, even though they’re paying a significant piece to fill the large gap (in salaries), I think this gives them a little more flexibility to do some things in ’16.”

Hart said the addition of Bourn would have no bearing on the status of Cameron Maybin, who has surpassed expectations in his first season with the Braves and whom Hart said he “loved” as a player and person and indicated he wanted to have back in 2016 (Maybin is under contract through 2016 with a an option for 2017).

Bourn, 32, has also dealt with multiple injuries during his time in Cleveland and hit .257 with a .315 on-base percentage and 46 stolen bases in 331 games over three seasons. He led the American League with 10 triples in 2014.

The cash coming from the Indians offsets the difference in what Johnson is owed ($19.5 million) for the remainder of this season and the 2016-2017 seasons and the 2016 salaries of Bourn ($14 million) and Swisher ($15 million).

Johnson’s contract is the last of the multi-year contracts handed out by the previous front office that the current regime wanted to move, after they successfully unloaded Melvin Upton Jr.’s contract on the eve of opening day by attaching him to Craig Kimbrel and making the Padres take Upton if they wanted the All-Star closer.

“I tell you what, it’s not as shocking as I thought,” said Johnson, who had heard his name mentioned in trade rumors since last fall. “Everybody thought that something might happen and it did. So obviously I’m excited to start fresh and go somewhere and try to help the team win.”

The team’s new third baseman will be Olivera, 30, who’ll be owed about $32 million from the Braves over the next five seasons (the Dodgers paid his salary this saeson and a $28 million signing bonus). Olivera came in a three-team trade that cost the Braves pitchers Alex Wood, Luis Avilan and Jim Johnson and top infield prospect Jose Peraza.

Johnson is the sixth to be traded in a span of two weeks from what had been the Braves’ 25-man roster.

“That’s where you trust your front office and your guys up above that they’re doing the right thing to help improve this team,” Braves right fielder Nick Markakis said. “If they think that move is appropriate and it’s going to help us, us as players, we’re perfectly fine with it.”

Olivera, who defected from Cuba and became a free agent last winter, hasn’t played in the majors but excelled at Triple-A before a hamstring injury that’s lingered for six weeks. He’s expected to have a short rehab assignment for the Braves soon, then be inserted in their big-league lineup.

Bourn and Swisher, 34, are known for their upbeat personalities and leadership, something that Hart said was good to add for the last months of this season and going into next spring. He mentioned that Bourn would likely be assigned a locker in spring training next to center-field prospsect Mallex Smith’s, to help mentor him.

Johnson got a $23.5 million three-year extension from former Braves general manager in May 2014, after leading the National League batting race for much of the 2013 season in a career-best year in which he finished with a .321 average, 12 homers and an .816 OPS.

Johnson slipped to .263 with 10 homers and a .653 OPS in 2014, and has been used as a platoon player this season and has a .235 average with two homers, 11 RBIs and a .592 OPS in 56 games. The Braves’ new front-office regime started trying to trade Johnson soon after Wren was fired in late September.

Bourn and Swisher each has one guaranteed season left on his contract. Each has a $14 million vesting option for 2017 that vests with 550 plate appearances in 2016, but neither is expected to get anywhere near that amount of playingtime with the Braves next season.

Bourn has hit .236 with no homers, a .313 OBP and 13 stolen bases in 95 games this season.

Swisher has missed most of the season with an inflamed knee that he reinjured in April, and he’s struggled mightily for two seasons, in part due to injuries (he’s had two major knee surgeries). He hit .228 with 32 homers and a .688 OPS in 272 games over three seasons in Cleveland, after hitting .268 with 105 homers and an .850 OPS in four seasons with the Yankees.

“I played against him for a while when he was in New York (Yankees) and he was always a thorn in everybody’s side,” said Markakis, who spent the previous nine seasons with Baltimore. “He had some great years over there. He’s got veteran leadership, he brings presence.”
