Nixing trade allowed Orioles' Adam Jones to extend community contributions, but now both sides 'hold the cards'

In the middle of a final Orioles series that’s become Adam Jones appreciation weekend, the veteran outfielder said Saturday that he still has plenty of good baseball ahead of him. It seems unlikely that will be played in an Orioles uniform, but that remains to be seen.

Before Saturday’s doubleheader against the Houston Astros, Jones sat in the Orioles dugout and spoke about his community service, the past two months since vetoing a trade to the Philadelphia Phillies and what his future holds beyond this weekend.

As he held court with a media scrum, contemplating whether he’s had any regrets about his time in Baltimore — he quickly said he wished he found an efficient detour to avoid downtown traffic on Lombard Street — Jones, 33, saw first base coach Wayne Kirby and zeroed in on him.
