Just when you probably thought it was safe to relax and enjoy watching Adam Jones in an Orioles uniform for at least the rest of the season, another trade deadline looms next week.
The Aug. 31 deadline for traded players to be eligible for the postseason won’t generate nearly the suspense of the July 31 nonwaiver deadline, but once Jones cleared trade waivers earlier this month, it became another day for fans to sweat through their No. 10 jerseys.
Is it possible that Jones will be traded to a contending team that needs some help for the September stretch?
