The addition of Adam Jones to the Diamondbacks’ roster doesn’t automatically make him the club’s everyday center fielder, nor does it mean the Ketel Marte experiment in center has come to an end.
Instead, General Manager Mike Hazen said, Jones gives the team another option at multiple positions and makes center field a sort of “mix-and-match” position on the Diamondbacks’ roster.
“He’s been an elite player in the league for a long time,” Hazen said on a conference call with reporters Monday, after his team’s one-year, $3 million deal with Jones was announced.
