As the Orioles continue to set the foundation of their rebuild, all signs point to the team shifting their outfield configuration within the next several days, moving longtime center fielder Adam Jones to right field to allow prospect Cedric Mullins to be groomed as the team’s potential center fielder of the future.
For the first time, Jones shagged fly balls in right field during batting practice, working with outfield coach Wayne Kirby, before the Orioles’ series opener Tuesday night against the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. He’s expected to receive a few days to get adjusted there before the Orioles officially make a position move.
