$1.5 million plus an additional $4 million in incentives possible.  A bit less expensive than I anticipated.  Possibly worth keeping an eye on in the event he opts out.  RH bat and good glove that can play all 3 OF spots seems to fit the need the Orioles have for that last roster spot pretty well.

Interesting structure to that deal.   It's a minor league deal but with a pretty hefty base salary, heavy incentives, and as you note, he can opt out if not on the OD roster.   It will be interesting to see how it plays out.  

So if I'm Jackson, I'm hoping to have a strong ST and that a starting CF somewhere gets hurt.  Were Jones to get hurt in ST and knocked out for the season, I would definitely offer Jackson a guaranteed deal around 1/6 if he wasn't a complete bust in ST.
