From listening to Adam Jones, it sure does sound as if the Orioles’ current longest-tenured player is preparing for the possibility of wearing a new uniform within the next week.
With franchise cornerstones Manny Machado and Zach Britton having already been traded to contenders, Jones is pending free agent that could be moved. The Cleveland Indians, San Francisco Giants and Philadelphia Phillies have all expressed interest in Jones, who, unlike Machado and Britton, can decide whether to approve a trade because of his service time.
Jones said Thursday he hasn’t yet been approached by the Orioles front office about a potential move, but he said he’s expecting it.
