Jacque Jones got his wish as he officially became a member of the Florida Marlins on Monday morning, according to a report on ESPN.com.
The outfielder, who was released by Detroit last week, made it known that he would prefer to play in South Florida with the first-place Marlins.
He'll likely bat leadoff for the Marlins, who recently moved shortstop Hanley Ramirez to the third spot in the batting order.
