Jones update

Under the restructuring of his deal Andruw Jones will earn 5M this season and the rest will be evenly dispersed over several years. At 5M I definately think he's worth the risk, but I can understand those who don't want to give it a try. Apparently the Mets have no interest unless castillo is involved in the deal.

The Braves, Reds and Mets expressed varying degrees of interest in making a deal for Jones this offseason, and the Dodgers are expected to talk again with those clubs.

The Mets' interest all along was predicated on the Dodgers absorbing Castillo's contract, and on Saturday morning a source with knowledge of the trade talks said even with Jones's salary reduced for 2009, the team is virtually certain to pass on a deal for the outfielder.surce ESPN
