October 31, 200718 yr mlbtraderumors.com Dodgers Serious About Andruw Jones Bill Shaikin has a small note in today's column: Scott Boras is believed to consider the Dodgers a more serious contender for center fielder Andruw Jones than for Alex Rodriguez. It's not the first time we've seen the Dodgers linked to Jones; David O'Brien suggested it several weeks ago. Ned Colletti, you may recall, wasn't exactly thrilled with Scott Boras a year ago when J.D. Drew unexpectedly opted out. But it sounded like much of his anger was directed at Drew. Boras seems to disagree with the notion that Jones should come with a significant price cut this winter. Before the season he was talking about $20MM annually. He'd still want at least $15MM per year. The signing could leave the Dodgers with an outfield of Juan Pierre, Jones, Matt Kemp, and Andre Ethier. One of the last two could be peddled, and the team might have soured on Kemp a bit. How about Kemp for Miguel Tejada? i personally see Andruw going to the White Sox because of Kenny Williams comments about wanting to win again in 2008 ( see Mark Buehrle resigning) and also because Ozzie Guillen and Andruw's friendship.
October 31, 200718 yr If the Dodgers trade Kemp for Tejada they are beyond idiotic and should just all be shot. I dont see Jones going to Los Angeles at all.
