I wouldn't be so sure. What did the Cubs get for Jones that the Tigers would regret not having? If the Neifi perez trade didn't sour them on deals with the Cubs then nothing will. The Cubs got rid of the obligation to pay Jones for being not good at baseball. The Tigers probably regret not having the money they have paid Jacque and will continue to pay him. Didn't the Cubs geta comparably bad contract in return? they got Infante in return whom they spun to Atlanta with Ohman for Ascanio. they paid $2M of Jones's 2008 salary, but I don't know that they're on the hook for any of Infante's or Ohman's
