Washington"s front office knows this is a good winter to be in the market for a center fielder, with several pending free agents about to become available. Andruw Jones headlines that list, and even after a subpar season by his standards, he figures to be the Nationals" top target. ... So get ready for a lot of Andruw talk over the next few months. Nationals president Stan Kasten knows him well from their days together in Atlanta; Kasten even managed to sign Jones to an extension several years ago by negotiating directly with the player and not with uber-agent Scott Boras. Jones will not come cheap. If Alfonso Soriano was worth $17 million a year, Jones will be worth more. That"s a major investment, one the Nationals have yet to make since coming to town three seasons ago. -- Washington Times

Wow, really? It would surprise me if they do land Jones - seems like he'd be a hotter commodity to a potential contender.
