When the Atlanta Braves traded Justyn-Henry Malloy and Jake Higginbotham to the Tigers for Joe Jiménez back in December, there was some head scratching going on amongst some fans across social media.
It could have been that since Joe Jiménez had played for a bad team in the Tigers, he was not well known to fans in Braves Country. It could also have been due to the fact that the Braves just traded arguably their top position player prospect at the time for one year of a relief pitcher.
The reality is that Malloy was a top prospect in a farm system that has already been gutted as we see with not a single Atlanta Brave on the top 100 prospect list from MLB.
