Maybe it’s time to deal with the reality that Adam Jones might not be patrolling center field at Camden Yards a year from now.
Jones is heading into the final year of his contract and the Orioles front office has so much on its pending free-agent plate that even he seems resigned to the possibility that he might get lost in the shuffle.
Not that he’s complaining about that. He told reporters at FanFest two months ago that he would be excited to enter the free-agent market if that’s what it comes down to.
