A number are in the top 30s of their current franchise (del Rosario, Severino, Maitan, Soto), but you're right in what looked to be a real haul by the Braves isn't materializing elsewhere. Of course, these guys are all still young, so things could change for them. What I've read on Maitan is that he matured early and is now putting on significant weight. Limits him to positions where he will absolutely have to hit to have value.
Obviously that would've been a better outcome, but would the franchise have gotten rid of the rest of the problem aka the Johns without the severe penalties? Coppy trying to run the team like Ole Miss football was bad enough, but the root problem was the dinosaurs above him in the org chart.
I am sure Msstate would have constantly whined and panicked about maitan falling apart. So we did get out of that at least.

Bowman predicts Alex Jackson to make opening day roster
Frees us up to use Flowers or McCann to pinch hit which is huge.
Wait....
The schedule allows the Braves to carry an extra hitter for a bit, and folks are happy that hitter is Alex Jackson?
