Early Orioles notes: Showalter prepared for possibility Sunday could be final game for Jones, other Orioles

Orioles manager Buck Showalter went into Sunday’s game with the realization that this could be the final home game for not just franchise cornerstone Adam Jones, but other key players.

The Orioles’ afternoon series finale against the Tampa Bay Rays is the team’s last game before Tuesday’s 4 p.m. non-waiver trade deadline. The club is off on Monday and opens a brief two-game series Tuesday night at Yankee Stadium.

The team has drawn steady interest in Jones, who can navigate his landing spot because of his 10 and 5 service time rights, with the Cleveland Indians and Philadelphia Phillies still considered the leaders.
