Rosenthal: Sources: Marlins reach agreement with OF Jacque Jones

The Florida Marlins, the surprise leaders of the National League East, aren’t standing pat.

Securing additional bench help, the Marlins have reached agreement with free-agent outfielder Jacque Jones, according to major-league sources.

Jones, 33, will take a physical Monday morning. He initially will report to extended spring training in Florida to get back into playing shape, according to one source, then return to the majors as a fourth outfielder and left-handed hitter off the bench.

Yeah, I heard the Long Island Ducks were looking for some insurance for Carl Everett.

I'm happy for Jaques. Got a lot of crap here in Chicago. I know he wanted to go down there.

Is Amezaga's defensive edge big enough to offset the likely offensive advantage of Jones? Could be the new starting CF.

They wanted Jacque last year too, tried to get him from the Cubs. Trade was rumored as completely at one point, but then fell through. I don't remember why.
