Bronx, NY (Sports Network) - The New York Yankees re-signed veteran outfielder
Andruw Jones to a one-year contract.
Jones batted .247 with 13 home runs and 33 RBI in 77 games last season. By
staying with the Yankees, the 34-year-old snaps a trend that saw him play for
a different club each of the past five seasons.
Since breaking into the majors with Atlanta at the end of 1996, Jones is a
.256 hitter with 376 doubles, 420 homers and 1,255 RBI over 2,102 games with
the Braves, Dodgers, Rangers, White Sox and Yankees.
The native of Curacao is a five-time All-Star and a 10-time Gold Glove Award
winner.
