On November 28, 2016 the Atlanta Braves sent pitchers Rob Whalen and Max Povse to the Seattle Mariners in exchange for outfielder/catcher Alex Jackson and a player to be named later (PTBNL).
This kind of sounds like old news now that the Braves have officially signed Sean Rodriguez and made another trade with the St. Louis Cardinals….but this trade is still fresh on our minds.
One thing we know so far…Jackson destroyed high school pitching and coming out of HS, he was said to be the best bat in the draft. John Hart was on MLB Network then and said “this is the best high school bat/power combination in this draft and to go along with it, he’s got an outstanding arm.
