Nolan Jones' MLB decline has become one of the clearest recent examples of how quickly a breakout can unravel in modern baseball, with the former Colorado Rockies outfielder now traded for just $250,000 (approximately £186,000-£187,000) in international bonus pool money and cash considerations, according to MLB Trade Rumors.
Once projected as a long-term everyday hitter after a 20-home-run breakout season, Jones has moved within three years from a core line-up piece to one of the lowest-value returns in a Major League Baseball transaction.
