Cubs will trade J. Jones "to anyone"

I heard that Jacque Jones has formally requested a trade. Is there any truth to that?

No, he did not.

No, he did not.

 

It was quite informal, as he was wearing jeans and a t-shirt and spoke in slang.

 

 

In all honesty, I think this is a matter of semantics. I'm guessing a formal trade request involves a written letter from the player and the agent with lawyers involved (so as to avoid any possible breach of contract). I remain convinced that Jones let Hendry know he wants out, and Hendry let Jones know he was willing to try to oblige, if he just remained quiet on the matter. Nothing formal need be involved.

Plus, would Muskat really know anyways? Not like she's tops on Hendry's list of people in the know.

 

I'm sure Jones let Hendry know that he'd rather play somewhere else next year, and Hendry asked Jones to keep it quiet so the Cubs had a chance at getting the most value possible for him.

They're not doing a very good job of keeping it quiet considering Jacque is never mentioned as a player on the team next year, and Lou and Hendry are constantly talking about how they need a LH bat for the outfield and a CF. It's as if Jacque doesn't exist.
