Orioles haven't approached Jones about waiving no-trade clause

The longest-tenured active member of the Baltimore Orioles, Adam Jones, says he hasn't been approached about waiving his 10-and-5 rights to accept a trade heading into the July 31 non-waiver deadline.

"It's uncharted territory, so I personally don't know how to take it all," Jones said, according to Roch Kubatko of MASN. "But I have not been spoken to by the organization about anything."

Jones has spent the last 11 seasons in Baltimore, but with the team poised to sell at the deadline and the 32-year-old set to hit free agency this winter, it would make sense if the Orioles look to deal him.

There should be interest in Jones, who is hitting .275/.300/.423 with 10 home runs, 25 doubles, and 33 RBIs in 90 games this season. While the team has yet to approach him, he acknowledged that he does know there's a possibility a trade could happen and will need to consult his family before accepting any move.

"Well, I have a family," he said. "Signing a contract in 2012 was my decision solely. Since 2014, I haven't made a decision by myself, so life changes. Now, it's not just my decision, it’s my family's decision. It's like everything else when you get a family."

Jones, who was acquired from the Seattle Mariners in 2003, currently ranks fifth on the Orioles' all-time list in hits and home runs, sixth in RBIs, and 10th in games played.
