ESPN is reporting that John Schuerholz has told Andruw Jones and his Super-Agent Scott Boras that The Braves have no interest in resigning the Gold Glove Center Fielder.
Jones hit an abysmal .222 this season with 26 HRs and 94 rbis, his worst numbers in a very long time. In his first 86 games batting cleanup for the Bravos, Jones collected a low 64 rbis batting in the spot.
Therefore the Braves went and traded for Texas Ranger First Baseman Mark Teixeira, who came in on August 1st, and in his 54 games with ATL he had 56 rbis batting in the cleanup spot.
The Braves are at no loss for talent, however, they're probably looking for a one year replacement.
Also, The Mets have decided to stick with Willie Randolph despite the collapse of the team at the end of the season. No duh. Was there any doubt really. The guy is still a good manager, although at the end of the season he looked worse than Jose Reyes September Batting Average.
