Though under contract with Atlanta through 2012 and seriously considering retirement, the Braves slugger has not ruled out bringing his talents to Flushing in 2013.
"If Omar is still there it is something I would deeply consider.", said Chipper. "I have always enjoyed Queens and my kids are getting older and college isn't getting any cheaper. One of Omar's famous 'pay you for what you did 10 years ago' contracts might be just what I need when I am in my 40's."
For the record, Chipper's children Shea Jones and Citi Field Jones both support the move.
Omar Minaya also supports the idea. "The guy has proven that he can beat you in so many ways.", said Minaya. "We would love to have that kind of pedigree on our team. Also, I think our world class medical staff can extend his career by 4 years. Just like they did with Luis."
Jeff Wilpon was reluctant to talk to us but he eventually told us, "If Omar is still here in 2013, he has my full support to sign Chipper Jones."
