AWhiteSoxinNJ Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Andruw Jones-OF- Braves Nov. 17 - 11:51 am et The Chicago Sun-Times says the White Sox have strong interest in Andruw Jones. Even though he's represented by Scott Boras? Boras has said that Andruw has no intention of waiving his no-trade clause and leaving Atlanta. "Andruw has the control and Andruw is going to be an Atlanta Brave for the '07 season, that's clear," the agent said last month. "He'll see how the season plays out and what the team's situation is."

GreatScott82 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I'm sure Atlanta would want Anderson, McCarthy and a couple pitching prospects for Jones. We are definitley better off with a guy like Crawford for what their going to be asking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Felix Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 (edited) No thanks. Andruw Jones is incredibly overrated and not worth his contract, the contract he'll get when he's a FA, and the price that it would take to trade for him.

Balta1701 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 If it costs anything other than McCarthy, I'm game, unless the offer is just insane. Atlanta will want pitching, that I can say with confidence. Problem is of course that Jones got 10-5 rights last season, so he can veto any deal.

TitoMB345 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 I believe this is one of the few ways in which I wouldn't mind getting rid of BA, but not for some insane package of our young pitchers. I'll let this unfold and see where it goes.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JDsDirtySox Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Put me down for wanting to trade the farm for Andruw Jones. I wouldn't care if it costs McCarthy, BMac, and another mid-level prospect. Andruw Jones is a special player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalapse Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Let's see he's 29 years old (prime age), he'll make $13.5M in 2007, he is a free agent after the '07 season and he's represented by Boras. Yes this seems like a perfect fit. He's a big name player, playing in his prime, entering a contract year and he's represented by the most aggressive agent in sports. He's looking at a massive contract next offseason and there ain't a chance in hell he gets it from the Sox, in other words he'd be a 1 year $13.5M rental that's going to cost you a pretty penny talent wise to acquire.

GreatScott82 Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 If Atlanta is really shopping Andruw around and they want a young talented CF replacement would you consider trading BA or Sweeney for him?? He would be a rent-a-player for 2007... Okay if these recent rumors hold ground..we could have a lineup such as this... Figgins, Crawford, Dye, Thome, Konerko, Jones, Gooch, Crede, Uribe haha thats just unfair! and it just wont happen. it would happen if the Sox aqcuire Santana and Figgins for Garcia and prospects.... Sox acquire Crawford for Santana and Fields Sox acquire Jones for Brian Anderson of Ryan Sweeney haha wow the possibilities KW has with this team this offseason.....

You're not getting Andruw Jones without including a young, cheap starter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allsox Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 No chance in hell of this happening. Plus, Bora$$ has already stated Jones "deserves" a 100 million contract next yr so he's already out of the reality stage of signing. Wish Clint Eastwood could tell Bora$$ what he told Gene Hackman before he blasted his shotgun into his face in Unforgiven: "Deserves has got nothing to do with it." BOOM!

bschmaranz Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Only way I'd want Andruw here is if he comes with a 3-4 year extension. Giving up the level of talent we'd have to is certainly not worth a one year rental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
