After watching several of his longtime teammates such as Andruw Jones, Greg Maddux and John Smoltz leave via free agency, Chipper Jones won’t have to worry about calling U-Haul as the reigning batting champ and his only organization came to terms on a three year extension with a vesting option for a fourth year. The deal is believed to be worth roughly $40M and will keep the 1999 MVP in Atlanta possibly through 2013 and his 41st birthday. Jones is a five-time all-star and two-time WBC participant. The deal is scheduled to be announced at a press conference this afternoon.
