Chipper Jones is retired. He has said so unequivocally and repeatedly, as recently as two weeks ago. Still, when you?re Brian Cashman and you?ve lost your third baseman, first baseman and one of your corner outfielders I suppose you?re allowed to be hopeful about things:
Those first two tweets sounded like Cashman ? who was speaking to reporters about his Derek Lee inquiries ? just messing around. In the same vein as ?sure, I?d love it if we could sign Johnny Mize.? ?But the last one suggesting that Cashman is serious was somewhat surprising.
It?s not going to happen. Chipper Jones is not, by his own admission, at all interested in playing baseball anymore. Even if he was, there is nothing in his entire history or temperament which suggests he?d go back on his decision to retire, let alone that he?d do so for the Yankees or any other team besides the Braves.
UPDATE: It seems Cashman has reached out to Scott Rolen too, but there isn?t much traction there. ?No word on when Kelly Gruber will get his call.
But when you?re desperate you?re desperate. And if I was Brian Cashman I?d want Chipper Jones too.
