Dodgers Drop Jones

The Los Angeles Dodgers released Andruw Jones as part of his reworked contract. If the Dodgers were unable to trade him, he would be automatically released. Jones had a sub-par year to say the least, hitting a mild .158 with 3 home runs and 14 rebounds. Some teams have varying degrees of interest in Jones, including the Atlanta Braves, the system Jones came up through, and the Florida Marlins. Jones's salary will be deferred over 6 years, saving a majority of the cash for this year's payroll. The money will most likely be used to pursue Manny Ramirez and pitching, specifically ex-Dodger Randy Wolf, Jon Garland, or Braden Looper.
