The Los Angeles Times is reporting that Dodgers GM Ned Colletti is balking at the asking price for free agent OF Andruw Jones and Aaron Rowand, both of whom are reportedly looking for deals of at least five years, with Jones seeking a richer contract than the five year, $90 million pact the Angels gave to Torii Hunter earlier this off-season.

The Dodgers are more comfortable with two or three year deals.

As noted earlier today, the Dodgers were ‘stepping up’ their talks with Jones, while multiple reports suggested he could accept a two-year deal, others said he will not.

…after the year he had, it would seem andruw’s demands are a little unrealistic, especially given the strong set of center fielders available this off-season…he might be best served taking a one-year deal somewhere, putting up big numbers and re-establishing himself as a top player…he’s got scott boras as his agent, though, so who knows…
