Braves trade for Joc Pederson

I'm curious how it all went down. Duvall was non-tendered on the Dec 2nd. Pederson signed with the Cubs on Jan 29th. Braves re-singed Ozuna on Feb 5th.

Not sure if at anytime they were trying to pair Duvall with Joc. With Ozuna saying at the time the Braves first reached out to him was the day he signed it leads me to believe he was the fall back option for Joc regardless of the DH situation being up in the air. They clearly had the money to do Duvall/Pederson if they wanted without signing Ozuna.
