Jacque Jones Deal to Marlins is Off Because of Hendry

[E.J.]

Cubs are also sending the Marlins 1 million in cash.

 

That's it? :shock:

 

That's awesome if true.

[Rebel_Cubbie]

They said not West and not Taylor...I'm betting Leroux...

 

I don't even see a West on their roster. Cowleys' got some pretty decent #'s.

Rotoworld has it up now....

 

 

The Marlins have acquired Jacque Jones from the Cubs, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.

 

No word yet on what the Marlins got back, but it won't be much. The Cubs are likely covering a large portion of the roughly $9 million Jones is owed through 2008. It's still a nice pickup for Florida. Jones isn't a great defender in center, but he can handle the position and he will start hitting. To pick up such a solid stopgap at what is almost surely very little cost is a nice feat for GM Larry Beinfest. Jun. 26 - 5:53 pm et

That's it? Good.

 

1 Million? And the Marlins pay the rest of Jones contract right?

 

Awesome.

[UBlink]

So we're sending another player as well as cash?

It is unclear who the minor-league player will be, but left-hander Graham Taylor is a possible candidate.

 

That's the kid who has the ridiculous K/BB ratio but CCP says doesn't throw too hard.

Just got home from work and I dont feel like reading 24 premium pages. Someone wanna fill me in? So far I've got this:

 

Jones, PTBNL, $1Mil, Traded to Florida for an A Ball pitcher?

 

Is this correct? Is it finalized?

[BeerHere]

Slightly off topic...but didn't we get 2-3 A ball pitchers last year in deadline trades? Scott Williamson was traded, someone else that I can't recall. Were any of those A ball arms worth anything?

Not bad at all.

That says we're sending a PTBL and $1 million along with Jacque for a Marlins' A pitcher.

Awesome if true.

That's it? Not bad.

 

Agreed. If we only have to send 1 million, that's not bad at all.

 

Of course, I wonder how good the PTBNL we'll send will be.

Cubs are also sending the Marlins a PTBNL, but that's per the Palm Beach Post.

Why couldn't be an ITBNL?

More than likely some Single A pitcher that will go on to be an 3 time all star with the Marlins.

Slightly off topic...but didn't we get 2-3 A ball pitchers last year in deadline trades? Scott Williamson was traded, someone else that I can't recall. Were any of those A ball arms worth anything?

 

Got Fabian Jiminez (out of the organization) and Joel Santo (doing ok at high-A, had a solid start for Daytona today) for Williamson. Got Adam Harben for Phil Nevin, he's out for the season with TJS. Got Jose Ceda for Todd Walker - he looked good but is in Mesa with a shoulder injury (no surgery).

[kujay]

Jesse is at Wrigley, live on 670 now.

 

Mentioned rumor, said Cubs would take on "most of salary," then said Jones has not been told of trade, as of a "few minutes ago."
