The Atlanta Braves are still making some news with the Alex Jackson trade as Dave O’Brien notes below. He still could be reverted to a catcher… and it turns out there’s good reasons for doing so.
We’re still awaiting news on who the player to be named later is in that trade, too. We’ll probably know after the Rule 5 Draft is complete… and since that’s somehow involved, I like the Braves’ chances there.
New Braves catching instructor Datz should know prospect Alex Jackson
If the Braves switch newly acquired prospect Alex Jackson from the outfield to catcher, his former position, there’s a new coach on staff who seems a natural fit to work with him behind the plate.
