Atlanta Braves slugger Chipper Jones will reportedly rework his contract in an effort to help the club retain and acquire talented players. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has reported that Jones will trim his salary in 2006 from $17 million to $11 million, while further changes could save the Braves about $15 million over the next three seasons. In order for the restructured deal to go through, the switch-hitting Jones must pass a physical for insurance purposes. Jones' agent told the paper that the new deal would change vesting-option years in 2007 and 2008 into guaranteed years at $11 million per season. The paper also said Jones is expected to receive a $4 million signing bonus in the new year and have a vesting option for the 2009 campaign worth between $8 and $11 million. The 1999 National League MVP, Jones missed more than six weeks of action in 2005 because of a foot injury. In 109 games last season, Jones batted .296 with 21 homers and 72 runs batted in. Jones has played in 1,651 career games, registering 331 home runs, 1,111 RBI and a .303 batting average. Atlanta is trying to keep free agent shortstop Rafael Furcal in town before another club attracts his eye, while closer Trevor Hoffman has been mentioned as a possible free-agent signing.
