Longtime Orioles outfielder Adam Jones spent some time in Las Vegas this week at baseball's winter meetings for his role on the Baseball Assistance Team's advisory board, but it doesn't appear his proximity to the team's new leadership group did anything for his chance of a return to Baltimore in 2019.
Jones, a free agent, won't get any kind of preferential treatment in the Orioles' offseason planning despite what executive vice president and general manager Mike Elias said was a clear place in the heart of the city and organization, and vice versa.
