Andruw Jones makes his way to the Dodgers - 2 years, $36 million. I guess those CF signings didn't work out so well for the LA teams last year.

In Jays news, Jeff Blair writes that the Jays have a Rios for Lincecum offer on the table and the Giants are considering it, although it's expected that nothing will happen on that front in the near future. Of course, Jones signing with Dodgers might make the Giants more likely to make a move with one less CF available now.

On top of that the Jays may be closing in on a deal with Paul LoDuca on a one year deal in the $3-4 million range ("including bonuses"). LoDuca is apparently considering his various offers.

Rule 5 draft this afternoon. I'm guessing the Jays don't do anything, or lose anyone, in the major league portion of the draft after acquiring Coats yesterday.

Update:  The Jays selected reliever Randy Wells in the Rule 5 draft.  Wells was taken from the Cub organization.  He pitched for AAA Iowa in 2007 and put up decent numbers - 101 Ks, 41 BBs and 11 HRs in 95.2 innings.
