Andrew was placed on waivers today. I just heard it on the radio. It has something to do with how long he's been here, and apparently there is a BLOCKBUSTER trade in the works. Holy crap.......I'll get some more info when I find some
Probably to the Red Sox for Coco Crisp and Craig Hansen...deal was very close to happening at the deadline

I hope this happens. Andruw Jones is an amazing fielder and great hitter. He would be better than Johnny Damon and Coco were imo.
Andruw's not going anywhere. They're in the middle of a wild card race, they are ot gonna get rid of their best player right now.

So there is a chance something could happen..Being on waivers means he CAN still be traded, even after the official MLB trade deadline
Yes, I know he's been claimed, I'm just saying the braves will not lose him. While the Braves may have plenty of power bats in the minors, the fact still remains that they would be losing a player who is both a power bat, and en exceptional CF. Granted he seems to be having some arm trouble and minor health issues. However, aside from his on field performance, we would be also losing a cornerstone on the bench. With Chipper down half of last year, who stepped up to be the team leader? AJ. Who put up the numbers and carried the team for a month while everyone else's bats died? AJ. yes his salary is large, yes the braves could/should get plenty in return for him in a trade, but the fact still remains that the braves would be losing a losing alot of known talent.
he makes 13.5 mil.Mike Hampton makes 14.5 mil. trade himi dont think they care about the money. I wish the Cubs would trade Kerry Wood(for anything), assuming SOMEBODY wanted him...

I just heard about this on ESPN News, it's exactly what kingjamez said, but jonesboyz is right, it looks like we'll be keeping him after all.
Wow if he goes to the Red Sox they'll have a powerhouse trio. That'll be scary. I rerally like Crisp though and would like it if he stayed in Boston.
