Waukesha native Jarred Kelenic, a 24-year-old who still has potential to be one of the top young outfielders in Major League Baseball, was traded Sunday night from the Seattle Mariners to the powerhouse Atlanta Braves, part of an eye-opening exchange in the early days of the league's annual Winter Meetings.
Kelenic, left-handed pitcher Marco Gonzales and infielder Evan White went to Atlanta in exchange for right-handed pitchers Jackson Kowar and Cole Phillips.
Kelenic, who rose through the Mariners organization as one of the top prospects in the minors, has now been traded twice in his career.
