Now that the #1 CF is off the market, those teams that lost out (Chicago White Sox and Texas Rangers) may turn their attention to Scott Boras' clinet, Andruw Jones. However, there doesn't seem to be much interest in Jones. One can't help but sense Jones is collateral damage in the owners' dislike of his agent.

Dave O'Brien of Atlanta Journal Constitution blogs on the possibility of Jones returning to Atlanta.
No, I'm told. Not gonna happen. Period.
Bob Dutton of the Kansas City Star writes, "The Royals show scant interest in Rowand but continue to monitor Jones to see if he shows any willingness to accept a three-year deal or less."

Things don't look to good for Jones, do they?
