BALTIMORE — Former Orioles outfielder Adam Jones didn’t entirely shut the door on his playing career. But in an article published Tuesday for The Players’ Tribune, Jones hinted at his time playing baseball reaching an end, reminiscing on his time in Japan as the “perfect sendoff.”
“I feel incredibly lucky,” Jones wrote. “I gave every day my all. And it’s been a hell of a run.”
The five-time All-Star selection with the Orioles last played in Major League Baseball in 2019 with the Arizona Diamondbacks, a final stop after 11 seasons in Baltimore and two in Seattle.
