It was difficult seeing Manny Machado be traded from the Orioles. It will trigger more trades of fan favorites and alter the direction of the franchise. While other players will be on the move, one of my first thoughts was how this new direction would affect the most longest tenured Oriole, Adam Jones.
As we know, Jones is in the final year of the six year extension he signed during the 2012 season. He will be a free agent this offseason, but won’t command a mega deal like Machado will.
