Wife
Since his birth, Jackson and his wife, Corinne Ridley Jackson, have kept many details of their child’s life private, including his name.
In a tweet posted on September 19, the MLB star hinted that his child was born last month.
“I appreciate everyone’s support! One new braves fan to cheer us on down the stretch!” he wrote at the time.
The Athletic’s David O’Brien tweeted the day before that Jackson would “return from paternity duty” that night, adding in his social media statement, “Mom and baby boy doing fine, we’re told. The couple’s first child.”
Teeth
“I think the other one’s just hanging a little bit, so the doctors are working around trying to work out what to do with it. He’ll obviously need some treatment. “I think he lost his false one (during the game), but he’s also ruptured his other one. So he’s got some work to do with his two front teeth unfortunately. “He plays a few tricks with the one he’s lost, so he’s lost it for good now.” Unsurprisingly, fans quickly started reeling off Collingwood trade jokes.“I think the other one’s just hanging a little bit, so the doctors are working around trying to work out what to do with it.

“I believe the other one is just hanging a little bit, so the doctors are scrambling to figure out what to do with it.”
He’ll undoubtedly require medical attention.
“I believe he ruptured his other one while losing his false one (during the game).”
Unfortunately, he has some work to do on his two front teeth.
“He’s lost it for good now because he plays a few tricks with it.”
Fans, predictably, began reciting Collingwood trade jokes. “I think the other one’s just hanging a little bit, so the doctors are working around trying to figure out what to do with it.”
He’ll undoubtedly require medical attention.
“I believe he misplaced his false one” (during the game)
Contract
The Magpies are prepared to pay a portion of Grundy’s salary – conceivably up to $350,000 per year – from the deal he signed in 2020 — a seven-year contract worth around $1 million per season. Melbourne earlier this year was said to be prepared to offer Jackson a new deal worth up to $750,000 for a couple of seasons. Some, or all, of that cash could instead be used to pay the rest of Grundy’s wage. If Jackson chose Freo, the initial hurdle in the Demons requesting a couple of first-rounders would be the Dockers having one of the thinnest hands at this year’s draft.

Injury
On Thursday, Luke Jackson, who is out for the season due to Tommy John surgery, lost his salary arbitration hearing with the Atlanta Braves.
Robert Herzog, Richard Bloch, and Scott Buchheit, who heard the case the day before, awarded Jackson the team’s $3.6 million offer rather than his $4 million request.
Jackson, a 30-year-old right-handed pitcher, underwent surgery on April 13 to repair a torn ulnar collateral ligament.
Except for contract and salary comparisons, no statistics or evidence from after March 1 are admissible. That date was set when Major League Baseball and the players’ union agreed to the deal that ended the lockout.
Jackson had 18 saves in 2019 and had been a top setup man for the previous two years.
