Jerry Crasnick of ESPN.com reports that the Detroit Tigers have acquired OF Jacque Jones from the Chicago Cubs for IF/OF Omar Infante.

In 453 at-bats this past season, the 32-year old Jones hit .285 while hitting 5 homeruns and driving in 66 runs. Definitely a down year in terms of power for Jones as he has managed to hit over 20 home runs in the previous three seasons.

Infante, 25, has played in the reserve role for the Tigers the past couple of seasons after being called upon in 2004 to be the everyday second-baseman.

This is the second trade in this offseason that the Tigers have made after acquiring veteran SS Edgar Renteria from Atlanta for two prospects just two weeks ago.
