After several failed trade talks this week with other teams, the Dodgers are set to release disgruntled outfielder Andruw Jones tomorrow morning. Earlier in the month, the Dodgers deferred much of what was left on his contract for this season, saving them roughly $12MM in payroll for 2009. The Dodgers had attempted at one point to void his contract but feared Jones would get the backing of the union, and the contract would not be voided. As part of the agreement between the Dodgers and Jones, the Dodgers agreed not to make any further attempts to void his contract. Jones will become a free agent and will be free to talk to all teams tomorrow. He has said he would be interested in returning to Atlanta.
