So does this make AJ offically on the block or is Reimold out of a job before the season started?

[Sports Guy]

Why would the Orioles sign Crisp? That doesn't seem to make any sense unless you are trading Jones.

Crisp sounds like a "pass" to me. He wouldn't really do anything to improve the team this year or longterm, he would cost money, and we already have Chavez.

If I had to venture a guess, Reimold to the White Sox with Tillman or Begesen for Floyd.

I bet this is quickly followed with AJ being traded(probably to the Braves) for pitching and Crisp being the CF with the same situation in Left field as before.

I would find it hard to believe that Jones was about to be traded, but maybe this is what Jones' tweet was all about.

I'm guessing that could be it.

The Orioles don't seem like the obvious fit as they already have a fine young center fielder in Adam Jones. But they could move Jones to left field and form an outfield with three players capable ot playing center. The Braves have been asking about Jones' availability, but the asking price has been understandably high. Baltimore wouldn't do it straight-up for young righthander Jair Jurrjens.

Of course, with Heyman, that's all the info he would need to make the assumption.
