Josh Johnson would be open to signing a contract extension to stay in Toronto beyond the 2013 season, his agent says.

But the Blue Jays have not yet approached him about such a deal.

“It hasn’t come up in any of our conversations,” said Matt Sosnick, who represents the six-foot-seven right-hander, one of the five players the Jays acquired in a blockbuster trade with the Miami Marlins last week.

“(GM Alex Anthopoulos) hasn’t volunteered it and I haven’t asked him about it. It’s probably something that if he wants to talk about it we’ll talk about it down the road.”

While Jose Reyes and Mark Buehrle — the two other key pieces in the trade — are under team control through 2017 and 2015, respectively, Johnson is slated to become a free agent after next year.

Sosnick believes that if he has a strong 2013, Johnson could fetch one of the biggest free-agent contracts in history for a starting pitcher.

But he’s open to discussing a deal that could keep him in Toronto.

“If there is anyone in the game I’d be receptive to talking to about it it’s (Anthopoulos).”

Anthopoulos wouldn’t confirm or deny Sosnick’s comments because he never publicly discusses contractual negotiations with players.

Johnson, 28, has a career 3.15 ERA over parts of eight seasons, all with the Marlins. He’s a two-time all-star who had the lowest ERA in the NL in 2010, but missed almost all of 2011 with shoulder inflammation. He also missed most of the 2007 season after undergoing Tommy John surgery. He made 31 starts last year, posting a 3.81 ERA, the highest of his career over a full season.

Sosnick, once the part-owner of a defunct Toronto nightclub called Circa, thinks highly of the city and the organization and has been endorsing it to his client.

Now that the initial shock of the trade has subsided, Sosnick said Johnson is “excited” to be coming to the Jays.

At the same time, Johnson is upset to leave Miami. He enjoyed his time with the Marlins and doesn’t share the same feelings as Buehrle, who released a statement on Wednesday saying he felt “lied to” by the organization.

But since it is not a traditionally attractive market for free agents, Sosnick said, signing extensions on players is the organization’s best way to keep them under team control.

Jose Bautista, Edwin Encarnacion and Brandon Morrow, for example, were all acquired via trade before signing longer-term deals.
