| Re: 2007/2008 Tigers Offseason Moves
ESPN - Tigers trade Infante for Cubs outfielder Jones - MLB Quote:
The Detroit Tigers acquired outfielder Jacque Jones and "cash considerations" from the Chicago Cubs for infielder Omar Infante.
Jones, 32, is a .280 hitter with 164 home runs in nine seasons with Minnesota and the Cubs. He hit 27 home runs in 2006, but he never warmed to Chicago and was a target of boos from Wrigley Field fans and abuse on the local radio call-in shows.
| Tigers wanted that guy before, but couldn't get him. He will shore up the outfield and give us the left-handed bat. |
