Free-agent outfielder Adam Jones doesn't plan to stop playing baseball any time soon.
Speaking at his annual tailgate charity event, the 33-year-old told MLB.com's Brittany Ghiroli that he wants to play four or five more years.
"I’ve got no stress," he said, according to Peter Schmuck of the Baltimore Sun. "The Orioles have been good to me financially over my career. I just know that I have a lot to offer someone else and I have a lot of gas in the tank, because - at the end of the day - my boys are starting to understand what’s going on with me, and they’re proud of daddy."
Jones spent the past 11 seasons with the Baltimore Orioles, but he isn't expected to return with the club rebuilding.
There hasn't been much reported interest in the five-time All-Star after he had his worst full season since 2008.
| G | AB | HR | RBI | OPS | WAR |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 145 | 580 | 15 | 63 | .732 | 0.5 |
Working in Jones' favor, however, is his durability. He's appeared in 137 or more games in nine consecutive seasons.
Over the course of his 13 seasons in the big leagues, Jones has played nearly 1,700 games, hitting .278/.318/.456 with 266 home runs and 878 RBIs. He's also won four Gold Gloves and a Silver Slugger.
