| April 8, 2008 Adam Jones is reportedly going to be brought along slowly and not overwhelmed early, according to the Washington Post. Manager Trembley noted, "The guy who needs to be protected against the better pitching in this league is Jones. He's going to have his moments when he's very good; he's going to have his moments where he's going to get anxious and chase pitches out of the strike zone. And when I see that coming, whether it's an 0-for-8 or 0-for-12 or 2-for-15, I gotta get him out. I don't worry about Adam Jones makeup-wise. I'm just thinking, let's do what's right for this guy. Let's not have him hitting .158 on May 15." He was the prized acquisition in the deal that shipped Erik Bedard to Seattle, and this explains why Jones was out of the lineup against young ace Felix Hernandez on Sunday. |

| March 18, 2008 Orioles skipper Dave Trembley announced this morning that ex-Mariner Adam Jones will start in center field on opening day, this according to the Baltimore Sun. The news isn't a surprise, only the timing of the announcement. Currently, Jones is an AL-only starting candidate and a mixed league reserve in most fantasy formats. |
| March 7, 2008 Adam Jones sat out of Friday's preseason game due to his stiff back, according to the Baltimore Sun. "They told me he could play today but I'm going to hold him," manager Dave Trembley said.

| March 6, 2008 Adam Jones was forced to leave the Orioles game on Thursday due to back stiffness, this according to MLB.com. "If it had been a regular-season game, I definitely would have kept playing," said Jones. "But it's Spring Training, and when you feel discomfort, you definitely take yourself out and get some treatment." We will take Jones at his word here, but we will certainly be keeping a close eye on him over the next week or so to see if there are any lingering effects. |
| March 4, 2008 Adam Jones was 3-for-3 at the plate on Tuesday, which raised his spring batting average up to .500. The O's are counting on the offseason acquistion to be in their lineup when the regular season begins, and so far, he's proving to be up to the task. |

However, Jones is going into spring training with the idea that he has to win a job. "I haven't proved anything in my eyes at this level," said Jones. "I have to produce with the team that I'm with. So far, I haven't produced anything to Baltimore, so I have a lot to prove." Tike Redman, Chris Roberson and Jay Payton are the O's other candidates in center, but the supremely talented Jones will have to really screw up over the next six weeks to lose out on a starting spot. |
| February 8, 2008 The Orioles acquired Adam Jones, left-handed reliever George Sherrill and pitching prospects Chris Tillman, Tony Butler and Kam Mickolio from the Mariners Friday in exchange for Erik Bedard. Jones was the M's top prospect and will compete for a starting job in the outfield. |
| February 4, 2008 Mariners outfielder Adam Jones traveled to Baltimore on Sunday, presumably to undergo a physical examination that originally was scheduled for Jan. 29, a source told the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. A clean bill of health would be the last hurdle standing between the Mariners and Orioles completing their long-rumored Erik Bedard trade. |
| January 31, 2008 The Seattle Times reports that there is absolutely no truth to the rumors that Adam Jones has a degenerative hip condition, and that both the Mariners and Orioles are laughing that rumor off "emphatically." |
| January 30, 2008 A Baltimore radio station is the likely source of a rumor that suggests the reason the Orioles are getting second thoughts about acquiring prospect Adam Jones as the centerpiece of a package for star lefty Erik Bedard is that they suspect Jones suffers from a degenerative hip condition. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer reports that the rumor is completely unsubstantiated. Mariners GM Bill Bavasi chose not to discuss the matter, saying: "All I can tell you is that we brought Adam Jones home from Venezuela [for a physical]. Beyond that, we're not saying anything." |
| January 15, 2008 Adam Jones was held out of Saturday and Sunday's games in Venezuela over the weekend, which led many to speculate he was close to being dealt to Baltimore in a package for Erik Bedard, according to the Seattle Times. He was back in the lineup on Monday, however, so a deal doesn't appear to be imminent. The Mariners would not comment on Jones' absence over the weekend, but the talks between the two clubs are still thought to be ongoing. |
