Adam Jones Near Contract Extension

The Orioles are about to sign their best player long term. Center Fielder Adam Jones, who is a serious MVP candidate, is going to be a Oriole for a while. Put all of the rumors to bed, this guy is staying. Apparently the deal will be worth 85.5 million over 6 years. This contract will be the largest in Oriole history. This deal would lock up the 26 year old until he is 33. Jones will not have to go to arbitration now if the contract is signed and will delay his free agency 5 years.

The previous contract record belonged to Miguel Tejada. That deal was worth 72 million over 6 years.
