Certainly possible. But we're down to 20 minutes. And if Selig has to approve of a deal, then its looking increasingly unlikely. The Cubs could just DFA Jones and it buys them 10 days if there was anything holding up a transaction before the game. That would give the Marlins (or any other team wanting him) so much leverage though. Exactly. At that point the marlins could just say "Well, if you dont give us what we ask for, we'll just let you have to release him. Then you have to pay his whole salary. Sucks to be you" Yep, they could pick him up, give up nothing, and pay him the league minimum.
