<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE <!--quotec-->The Los Angeles Dodgers and Andruw Jones have agreed to rework his contract to save the team $12 million off its 2009 payroll, SI.com has learned. The deal likely will lead to Jones playing elsewhere next year.
The Los Angeles Times reported Friday that the sides were working on such an arrangement.
