Three years of retirement was apparently enough for Chipper Jones, as the former All-Star will return to the Atlanta Braves in their front office.
The Braves' official Twitter account announced Thursday that Jones will be working as a special assistant to baseball operations.
Per Kevin McAlpin of 680 The Fan, Jones said it was time for him to get back into the sport he spent 19 years playing as a professional:

It's unclear what exactly Jones' new role will entail, though positions that include the label of "special assistant" are often given to historic figures in franchise history.
