I would take another year of control to mean that McCutchen's contract runs through the 2019 season.  As it stands, if we were to trade Jones to the Giants today, for instance, they would have had about a half year more of control of McCutchen than they would get with Jones.

..but the previous year hadn't started yet. Anyway, you get the gist of what I'm trying to say.

Yes, Jones and Cutch are a decent comp trade value-wise.

The only way to trade Jones for a B prospect is to eat the rest of his contract for this year!!!!

Happy to see Almora profiled here as a way over his head guy, and that Melky failed to do anything for Cleveland.  Brantley's got LF on lock as long as he stays healthy, but Cubs CF and Indians RF are both laying up reasonably as possible warm spots next month.

So to start, it's not -1.4, it's -1.3. And you're also looking at a considerably small sample size. He hasn't been great in recent years, but he's been well under -1.0. For example, last year Mike Trout's dWAR was -0.8 the exact same as Adam's. 

Jones is a very, very slow CF.   His sprint speed is slower than Mancini’s!    Please wake up and realize that he is one of the worst defensive CF’s in the majors.   He’d probably be OK in a corner, but not above average IMO because of his lack of speed.

That's a positive at least.

Peter must be busy or otherwise unavailable.  I don't care who is supposedly running baseball operations after the season, bank on Peter handling any Jones negotiations directly himself.

Pre game interview Jones said the ideal scenario would be if the O's traded him and resigned him.

I guess I could get behind that if he moves to Lf/Rf

Stewart, Mullins, Hays, McKenna.  Mouncastle?

I'd rather go with the youth.

Not going to happen.

Will he allow any trades? Not counting on it.

I love how even Adam Jones knows he should be traded...."The ideal situation would be to trade me now and resign me later."
