Have talks between the Dodgers and the agent for Andruw Jones been revived? According to Ken Gurnick of MLB.com, the Dodgers met with Jones' agent, Scott Boras, at the Winter Meetings today, but nothing is close.

Dodgers' GM Ned Colletti is willing to offer a short-term contract to Jones, but Boras is looking for the same type of contract that the Dodgers offered J.D. Drew a few years ago.

Also, the Dodgers were said to be in the running for Marlins' 3rd baseman Miguel Cabrera, but did not want to give up three top players (rumored to be Clayton Kershaw, Matt Kemp, Jonathan Broxton and Andy LaRoche).

Contrary to earlier reports, the Dodgers never had an offer out to Andruw Jones and they have also said "no thanks" to Aaron Rowand.

Dodgers' GM Ned Colletti has not closed the door all the way on Jones, but he does say that the Dodgers never submitted a contract offer for the free agent center fielder.Jones' agent, Scott Boras, is rumored to be asking for a 5-year $90M deal.

The Dodgers have also said that Aaron Rowand is asking for more than they're willing to pay. The free agent center fielder is apparently asking for 5-years, $70M

If you couldn't tell already, the Winter Meetings are underway and there's already offers being made.

According to Jerry Crasnick of ESPN, the Los Angeles Dodgers have made a 2-year $32M offer to free agent center fielder Andruw Jones.
