Former Baltimore Oriole and All-Star centerfielder Adam Jones agreed to a 1-year $3 million deal (and another $2 million in incentives) with the Arizona Diamondbacks earlier today. After that report, Buster Olney mentioned:
The Giants and other teams had inquired earlier in the winter about Adam Jones, aiming to sign him to $2-3m deal. His camp was looking for more at that time, but in the end, his price dropped to $3m range

In other words, the Giants could’ve had him if they really wanted him.
