Andruw won’t be traded
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Andruw Jones will remain a Brave — at least for the rest of this season.
Any possibility Jones would be traded ended Saturday after the Braves withdrew waivers on the center fielder.
Jones is still a little unhappy with the front office. “They should have called,” he said about being kept in the dark. “But it’s no big deal. I didn’t get traded. That’s the main thing.”
Are you relieved? Are you, like Jones, still upset that his name ever appeared on waivers? Do you think he will need to be traded eventually anyway for salary reasons or in order to acquire prospects to help rebuild the team?

Post-game forum: Fading in wild card
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
The Braves lost their third game in a row and fell to 6 1/2 games back in the wild-card race with an 8-6 loss to the Reds Saturday.
In a key series that gave the Braves a chance to close in on wild-card leader Cincinnati, Atlanta has lost the first two games.
Are they done? Are the Braves showing they won’t even make a run at the wild card? Do they even have a chance of finshing at .500? Is it time to start trading veterans like Andruw Jones and re-build for the future? What are your thoughs on the game and the season?
