06 Jan 2009 23:16:10 PST

Written by ericstephen

Written by Jonny Solovy
In late 2007, Atlanta Braves free agent outfielder Andruw Jones agreed to a two-year deal with the L.A. Dodgers. The contract agreed to was short but very profitable, as Jones is currently earning—I mean receiving—$18.1 million per season.
