Consider these offseason deals with the Seattle Mariners, who are the best thing to happen to Copo and Co. since Dave Stewart was shown the door.
On November 28th, the Braves sent Max Povse, and recent acquisition from the Mets, Rob Whalen for "outfield prospect" Alex Jackson and a PTBNL. Left-hander Tyler Pike was sent to the Braves on Dec. 9 as the player to be named.
Alex Jackson (with Florida)
.295-10-25 in 30 games Defensively, in 13 games as CATCHER, has made four errors, thrown out seven of 25 base stealers (28 percent). OPS of .905. BTW, he's 21 years old.
Tyler Pike (with Florida)
3-1, 2.29; 39.1 IP, 26 H, 14 BB, 45 K in seven starts. Age: 23
Povse: 3-1, 3.51 in AA
Whalen 2 starts, 8 IP (4.50). On DL entire month of April with Mariners, shut down with shouldler inflammation -- the same problem that ended his 2016 season. Activated and sent down May 1.
On January 11, Braves traded Mallex Smith and Shae Simmons to Mariners for lefty Luiz Gohara and lefty reliever Thomas Burrows.
Luiz Gohara (with Florida)

Thomas Burrows (with Rome)
2-2, 2.70, 1 save; 8 games 13.1 IP, 12 H, 6 BB, 12 K Age: 22
Mallex Smith (with Charlotte 2 games, Durham 6 games, Tampa Bay 8 games)
With Tampa: .273-0-0, 3-3 SB; minors .286-0-2, 3-3 SB

Had not realized Simmons went back on the gurney. Pretty amazing short sample return, though.
