Adam Jones. 4. team. 11. . .

July is the month of trades, and this is why Adam Jones ranks fourth in players to watch this series. According to the Baltimore Sun, Jones won’t won’t do a contract extension during the year, and the Orioles rarely do deals midseason. He’s due to hit free agency after this season, which certainly makes him a trade candidate.

This season, Jones is batting .287 and 10 ten home runs with Baltimore. Jones is 1-for-4 against Philadelphia this season. however, he has proved to be quite difficult in interleague games.

Jone is batting .361 in 61 at-bats in inter-league games this year with seven doubles and a home run.
