By Buster Olney

Braves center fielder Andruw Jones has been claimed on waivers, but it's not clear which team has claimed the eight-time Gold Glove winner, ESPN The Magazine's Buster Olney reports.
The Braves placed Jones on waivers Tuesday. The team that claimed Jones has 48 hours to strike a deal with Atlanta; the window expires Saturday at 1 p.m. ET.
Jones will earn his 10-and-5 rights on Aug. 15, which means he can veto any trade. If the Braves pull him off waivers, they cannot trade him this season.
The Red Sox talked to the Braves about Jones leading up to the trade deadline. Some scouts believe that the Angels, who have been looking for a bat, would naturally have interest in him.
