Andruw Jones has finalized a one-year, $3.5 million contract with the Rakuten Eagles of Japan's Pacific League. It's a nice payday for Jones, who was likely headed for a minor league deal had he remained in the states. The 35-year-old batted just .197/.294/.408 with 14 homers and a .701 OPS in 269 plate appearances with the Yankees this past season.
