The Detroit Tigers are close to acquiring outfielder Jacque Jones from the Chicago Cubs for infielder Omar Infante, two sources confirmed to ESPN.com.
The deal, which was first reported by the Detroit Free Press, could be announced sometime Monday, the sources said.
Jones, 32, is a .280 hitter with 164 home runs in nine seasons with Minnesota and the Cubs. He hit 27 home runs in 2006, but he never warmed to Chicago and was a target of boos from Wrigley Field fans and abuse on the local radio call-in shows.
