Adam Jones' free agency turned out to be a lot like his time with the Orioles: polarizing.
That's not to say there’s any question whether his decade-plus in an Orioles uniform was enough to make him one of the most beloved players in the club's history. He was, and will remain, a part of their lore, and was the face of teams that broke the organization's streak of 14 straight losing seasons.
Unfortunately for him, he reached free agency this offseason at a time when all that currency continued to be worth little in terms of real free-agency dollars.
