Giants trade Jay Jackson to Braves for cash, player to be named later

The World Series champs scooped up another former Giant on Monday.

The Giants traded right-handed reliever Jay Jackson to the Atlanta Braves in exchange for cash considerations and a player to be named later. Jackson had been designated for assignment last week when the front office needed to clear roster spots for 40-man roster additions who otherwise would have been eligible for the Rule 5 Draft.

Jackson, 34, made 23 appearances for the Giants, posting a 3.74 ERA and 4.05 FIP and striking out 11.6 batters per nine innings.
