Have you been living under a rock?Cut him some slack. Best of luck on this part of your professional journey.Interesting he didnât have a market develop in MLB after his productive season last year in ARI. The fact that Jones is heading to Japan now means he’ll avoid a protracted stay on the open market. As a free agent last offseason, the 34-year-old Jones was a victim of a league that has become more and more averse to signing aging players to guaranteed contracts. From Adam Jones’ Instagram page: It’s now time to move on to my next chapter in life and say farewell to MLB and hello to NPB. Also it’s clear that he would’ve loved to stay on with the O’s last season and that his feeling towards the fan base and city is mutual.Correct re mutual affinity between Jones and Oâs fans. It was nice though that he was able to play against Danny Jansen in late 2018 (back in 2004 when Jones was in the minors with the Mariners’ Wisconsin affiliate, Jansen’s family hosted him for the season).neat story. What is disappointing about that?I think you’re overvaluing what Jones is capable of at this point in his career. If it was about no interest from MLB teams, shame on all 30 teams because so many teams could use him in their OF instead of some of the guys they’ll be trotting out there.Braves already have their quota of aging outfielders that are only batting average and mediocre to bad defense.That is just a silly argument.

Hardly accurate to call him selfish.Itâs not selfish to want to play everyday. Seemed like he could help out plenty of major league teams.He’s had a pretty good career, it will be interesting to see how he does over in Japan.Jones’ Stat line with the O’s was .279. Seems like a really stand up guy who would have a knack for coaching.
Adam signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the Orix Buffaloes of the Nippon Professional Baseball league. But due to the recent outbreak of coronavirus, no fans were present to see it happen. Heâll get paid more than we was likely to be paid in the US and will get to play everyday. Former Baltimore Orioles and Arizona Diamondbacks All-Star outfielder Adam Jones has agreed to a contract with the Orix Buffaloes in Japan, he announced Tuesday on social media. On the whole were simply grateful for what he brought to Baltimore and the Oâs.Lots of respect for Adam. I do wish him well though.Hey the Fresh Prince bailed on Philly and how’d that work out for him? MLB might still be on hiatus for another month, but that hasn't stopped former Baltimore Orioles star Adam Jones from crossing the Pacific and smacking dingers in the Japanese NPB… After one season with the Arizona Diamondbacks, outfielder Adam Jones is heading across the Pacific Ocean to continue his career in Japan.
Major league teams could have considered signing him to act as a mentor to their younger players in 2020. Blowing up and apprehending aliens across 2 different franchises, saving the worldHey the Fresh Prince bailed on Philly and how’d that work out for him?
I can say pretty confidently that he wasn’t going to get a better offer than what Orix gave him, so he was smart to take it.Unfortunately these are probably the cold hard factsâespecially in this era.1.
I believe that he still views himself as an everyday player. Only 73,000 dollars. Longtime major league outfielder Adam Jones’ time in the bigs may have just drawn to a close. Good luck in Japan.Not the same house or the same team. Maybe he wants to continuing playing every day and performing at a high level, so he felt a league change was the best option? i know Brandon Dickson was with Orix through last year, but not sure if he was eligible because he was a free agent, or players on NPB rosters are exempt from the 40 man rule. The OBP and Slugging got swapped around. Great culture.Very solid MLB career; it’s a shame that it didn’t end with the O’s. You can question and dislike his decision, but it’s his decision and he’s obviously pleased with it or he would have waited a lot longer than December 10th to sign.Lol. However, he would have had to settle for either a low-paying big league contract or a minors agreement. The deal is … MLB has been amazing to myself and my family," Orix plays in Nippon Professional Baseball and has four Japan Series championships, with the most recent coming in 1996. As a result, Jones made the decision to head to Nippon Professional Baseball for a much larger payday.If this is the last we’ve seen of Jones in the majors, he’ll be remembered as a standout with the Orioles for a significant portion of his career. Hey sad fact of this very modern era in baseball is that we donât get to see guys like this play just a bit longer.Jones is a noted community servant and philanthropist. Perhaps there is a coaching or consulting position with the Orioles in his future. "[Orix] views me as a valuable piece to help bring their organization back on track and I'm up for the challenge!!" On Tuesday, the centerfielder launched his first home run of the spring in an exhibition game. Wonder how the Japanese fan base is taking it? If your bench players donât want to play every day, release them.You got to go where they pay you. "It's that time in my career and life my family and I had to make a HUGE decision, and so that is what we have done!!! the ammount of flak i got on the article over the summer was crazy. Excited or not as much? Heâs very loved by our fan base.yeah i think he gets too little credit from those on this site. Gets paid and gets what he wants: an everyday role.No, he rejected Philly because he wanted to finish his tenure and not uproot his family for a two month stint. Wrong stadium, wrong team.
However, he received a good contract. Statistically perhaps not but his meaning for the franchise historically is very strong.Thatâs because he doesnât see himself as a fourth OFder. Good on him.Love you Adam.
