So who is the Angels' next big-name target?
Word is it is Atlanta Braves star center fielder Andruw Jones, but Jones has trade veto power, won't be a free agent until after 2007 season and his agent, Scott Boras of Newport Beach, has said his client is content to stay put until next winter. That, of course, is a nice way of saying, "You'll have to make it worth my while to move now."
So the Angels likely would have to give up a package, including starter Ervin Santana, trumpeted minor-league starter Nick Adenhart and perhaps setup man Scot Shields to get the Braves interested - and offer Jones a boatload of money in a new contract to approve the deal. Sounds too complicated to me, and that means Stoneman might have to turn his focus back to Orioles shortstop Miguel Tejada, who was rumored headed to Anaheim before the July trading deadline last season until Tejada made it known he didn't want to play third base.
