Report: Adam Jones Buys Ripken's Home
After months of languishing on the market, Cal Ripken Jr.'s home finally got a buyer who, like Ripken, bleeds black and orange.
The Athletic's Ken Rosenthal identified the buyer (paid subscription) as Orioles outfielder Adam Jones. Rosenthal said Jones paid a fraction of the 25-acre estate's $12.5 million listing price.
Jones is in a contract year, but fans shouldn't take the deal as a sure sign he'll stay in Baltimore. Sources told Rosenthal he buys and sells properties for investment purposes.
In an April interview with MLB.com, Jones didn't commit to staying around.
