Jones--which team ?
The Los Angeles Dodgers and Andruw Jones have agreed to rework his contract to save the team $12 million off its 2009 payroll. (Si.com)
Ok now SI has reported that the contract has been reworked, so now we have to deal him, problem is to do that we have to make some team believe he can go back to his 2006/7 form, and that 2008 was just bad luck, so which team can make the gamble for Jones.

He still
has a no trade clause so I expect he will only waive that to a team what he expects to play full time for. Or maybe he waived it but I doubt he’d give up the ability to decide where he goes. So who needs a centerfielder that they can gamble on?

I didnt know he had a no trade clause
Why would he wave it at all then? After all, if he doesn’t get traded he gets to be a FA and go anywhere he wants. The only thing I can think of is then he might only get a minor league deal and not get to play in the majors to prove himself.

I think one just emerged...
The Texas Rangers. Could LAD use Michael Young? Could they handle his contract?
I guess you heard Fat Joe left Atlantic.

No way
No way the Dodgers take on 5 years and $80 million for a declining offensive player with bad defense (his Gold Glove was a joke). Young is as untradeable as just about anybody in MLB.

Andrew Jones
Well, I think Andrew has already proved himself quite well.
I have been a baseball fan for over 50 years and cannot think of a
guy, still in his prime, with the talent he had, going totally south so quickly.
And of course, to be doing so with all that money for his total lack of effort, attitude, consciousness, basic human decency and— stop me before I gag on that low life’s athletic bile. Hey, here’s an idea where he can go . . . we let the Isralies use him for one of those prisoner exchanges with Hamas. Na. couldn’t get more and a used hand grenade for him.
