Nothing left from the Alex Jackson trade with the depressed guy Whalen retiring and Povse being dumped. Jackson has a .944 OPS in AAA and is still just 23 yo

And, he's back to being a catcher now to boot.

I may be wrong but ai think he was released before his surgery. Don't know if the M's have the rights to him or if he is a free bird.

He's on the Travellers roster.

Just hasn't made any appearances yet. Should soon (unless he's not ready )

April 3, 2019 RHP Max Povse assigned to Arkansas Travelers from Tacoma Rainiers.
February 1, 2019 Seattle Mariners sent RHP Max Povse outright to Tacoma Rainiers.
January 27, 2019 Seattle Mariners designated Max Povse for assignment.

Max must have cleared waivers. Thank goodness.

Another in a long line of lousy number 1’s.

Perfect. Looks like he will be ready just in time for that 2021 window.

Yeah, but what will he be ready for? Not sure I have much confidence in him doing much. Hopefully he becomes a decent reliever at least.

Hopefully this is his doctor.

Cool. Thanks!

Don't forget the future CF Fraley...

I did forget Fraley. Doh! I have to admit that I am not as high on him as others after seeing him in spring training. You never know who might pop though.

He was great in Spring training for a guy who never played above A ball, and he's been awesome in Arkansas this year.

Yeah, he may pan out. I know his numbers are good. For me, from the small sample size I saw in spring, he just didn't pass the eye test so to speak. When I'm saying this I mean having the goods to be an above average major leaguer. JRod on the other hand was impressive. Visually he exudes the intangible "it" factor - comfortable in his own skin, very confident, relaxed at the plate, etc. Physically he's a beast and I don't think his body is completely done filling out that frame yet. If he's got a solid work ethic, I think the sky is the limit for him. Who knows though, right? There's no way to really tell at the A/AA levels who will really break through.

I don't expect him to be Mike Trout, but I think he's more Mitch Haniger than Ben Gamel, meaning he can be someone who is a legit starting OF, not a 4th OF type. Kelenic and Jrod are on another level though.
