Tigers Jacque for Position

The Tigers, who had already strengthened their infield with the acquisition of Edgar Renteria, picked up outfielder Jacques Jones from the Cubs today, for infielder Omar Infante.

Jones had signed a 3-year, $16 million contract prior to the '06 season. The Cubs are also sending along some cash to help cover the last year of the deal.

Jones will most likely platoon in left field with Marcus Thames, until prospect Cameron Maybin is ready for a full-time gig.
