Details of the deal are currently undisclosed, but I imagine if this report is true the Cubs are getting zilch back, as the Marlins are taking on most of his money.
EDIT:
Rotoworld's Take:
The Marlins have acquired Jacque Jones from the Cubs, according to the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
No word yet on what the Marlins got back, but it won't be much. The Cubs are likely covering a large portion of the roughly $9 million Jones is owed through 2008. It's still a nice pickup for Florida. Jones isn't a great defender in center, but he can handle the position and he will start hitting. To pick up such a solid stopgap at what is almost surely very little cost is a nice feat for GM Larry Beinfest. Jun. 26 - 5:53 pm et
