Someone finally got smart and signed Adam Jones. The outfielder, All-star, and all-around good guy has found a new job with the Arizona Diamondbacks. In an interview with 98.7 Arizona’s Sports Station, Jones noted the impact these late signings has on veteran players and the game itself:
“The thing about baseball, is that they’re taking the game away from guys who want to play. I want to play more than just this year. … We want to play. We love to play. When you take that away from us, some players get bitter about it and … that’s not good for the game, that’s not good for the next generation of the game.”
We’ll miss Adam Jones in Baltimore, but I’m sure that’s not that last we’ll hear from him.
