The Detroit Tigers have officially moved on from Jahmai Jones.
Just days after designating the veteran outfielder for **** ignment, the Tigers have traded Jones to the Boston Red Sox in exchange for a player to be named later. The move gives Jones a fresh opportunity while allowing Detroit to receive an **** et rather than risk losing him for nothing.
The Red Sox announced Tuesday that Jones has been added to their roster. Boston optioned infielder Nate Eaton to Triple A Worcester to make room on the active roster, while Jones fills an open spot on the club’s 40 man roster.
Because Jones is out of minor league options, Boston will keep him on its Major League roster.
The 28 year old now gets another chance to prove he can be a valuable contributor after struggling to find consistency with Detroit this season.
