The Atlanta Braves brought on Jay Jackson last offseason to provide some depth for the bullpen. Jackson bounced back and forth between Gwinnett and the majors for a period, but saw limited opportunities.
How Acquired
Atlanta acquired Jackson from the San Francisco Giants last November in exchange for cash considerations.

The move was made to essentially to free up a spot on San Francisco’s 40-man roster while the Braves took a flier that Jackson could add some depth to the bullpen. When the move was made, the thought was there that Jackson could see a meaningful opportunity at the major league level, but that never transpired.
