Jones cleared waivers Thursday and elected free agency, Todd Rosiak of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports.
The 28-year-old utility man was dropped from the Brewers' 40-man roster Sunday to make room for Braden Shewmake. Jones has gone just 2-for-23 with 10 strikeouts in 12 big-league contests this season and will likely have to settle for a minor-league deal in order to land his next opportunity.
