Free-agent outfielder Andruw Jones is nearing a one-year deal with the New York Yankees, according to Yahoo! Sports.A five-time All-Star and 10-time Gold Glove winner, Jones would fit into the Yankees' plans as a fourth outfielder, and as a right-handed bat with some power, he probably will not have trouble finding playing time. New York's regular outfield includes two lefties -- Curtis Granderson and Brett Gardner -- and both had their share of difficulty hitting left-handed pitching last year.
Jones, who will turn 34 in April, is a 15-year veteran. He spent most of his career to date with the Braves, but has bounced around the last three years from the Dodgers to the Rangers and finally to the White Sox this past season.
