At 70 years old, Johnson will be the oldest manager in the majors in 2013.
Last season, he led the Nationals to their first NL East title and a majors-high 98 wins. Washington lost to the St. Louis Cardinals in an NL division series, blowing a 6-0 lead in Game 5.
Johnson is one of three finalists for the NL manager of the year award. The winner will be announced on Tuesday.
