The Jacque Jones to the Marlins trade was called off in the late afternoon yesterday.  A money snag was said to have killed the deal, so instead of shaking hands with his friends and teammates, Jones was saying hello again.

For whatever reason the Marlins wanted the Cubs to pay more of the 7.2 million that Jones will be owed over the next two years.  The Cubs had offered to pay 6.6 million leaving the Marlins paying the league minimum for Jones basically.

For now, Jones is still a Cub but Jim Hendry has told him that he will be out there looking for other deals.  Jones is aware of everything, I just wonder if it will affect his gameplay?  Well it can’t get any worse can it?
