According to MLB.com Chipper Jones and the Atlanta Braves have agreed on a 3 year deal worth 40 million +. The deal also includes an option for 2013.
This deal really shows what the city of Atlanta thinks of Chipper Jones. The man has played in more than 130 games in the last 4 seasons, ONE TIME! I'm a big Chipper fan and he's an important part of this team, but he is not the reason I put my butt in that seat at Turner Field. He is a great baseball player but frankly this deal scares me for how "nagging" injury prone he can be.
A positive is that Chipper is the type of guy that would be willing to have his contract restructured in the future, if it meant the Braves needed to find a dollar to sign someone in the years to come.
You're the man Chipper Jones-and so is your agent.
