Former NBA player Orlando Woolridge arrested for theft
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 6 (UPI) -- Ten-time Gold Glove winner Andruw Jones Thursday came to terms with the Los Angeles Dodgers.
A report by MLB.com said the deal, reached late Wednesday, is worth $36 million for two years and is contingent upon him passing a physical.
His agent, Scott Boras, worked out a contract that will pay Jones a $12 million signing bonus with a $9 million salary in 2008 and $15 million in 2009.
The five-time all-star, considered one of baseball's best defensive center-fielders, has spent his entire 12-year career with the Atlanta Braves.
In 2007, he struggled at the plate, batting only .222 with 26 home runs and 94 RBI.
With the Dodgers, he will be reunited with former Braves teammate Rafael Furcal, LA's starting shortstop.
For his career, Jones is batting .263 with 368 home runs and 1,117 RBI.
The native of Curacao was second in National League MVP voting in 2005 when he hit a career-high 51 homers.
