According to Joe Frisaro of MLB.com, the Marlins and Padres have inquired on recently designated outfielder Jacque Jones. The Tigers, on the hook for $3MM of Jones' salary this year, would obviously prefer a trade.
Many Padres are not hitting, including outfielders Jim Edmonds and Scott Hairston. Jones might not hit for much power anymore, but he can play a quality center field.
The Fish nearly acquired Jones last summer. They haven't gotten much out of Alfredo Amezaga and Cody Ross in center, and left fielder Josh Willingham is on the DL with a sore lower back. The Marlins are just a game back in the NL East.

If signing Jones is really boosting your offense ... wow. That's all I can say.

Welcome to the Padres' world, bjsguess. They could go sign Russ Branyan again and boost their offense. This bag of gummi bears I'm eating right now might be an improvement in a corner OF for them.

I am shocked that any team would be interested in Jacque Jones ... If the Tigers get anything for him it's a bonus
