After 10 years, it seems hard to fathom a Baltimore Orioles team without Adam Jones in center field.
But that's a reality the Orioles could face after the 2018 season, when Jones' contract expires.
Jones' history in Baltimore is well-known. In May of 2012, when the Orioles were showing signs they were ready to break their streak of 14 consecutive losing seasons, Jones was having a standout season. The 26-year-old was eligible for free agency in the fall, and that's when the team made what was arguably it's best move under executive vice president of baseball operations Dan Duquette -- signing Jones to a six-year extension for $85.5 million, which was a club record at the time.
