The Orioles haven’t frequently shopped in the Japanese market for free agents but, after bringing former outfielder Adam Jones aboard in a front-office role, they might soon foray into that territory more often.

Former star outfielder Adam Jones is rejoining the Baltimore Orioles as a special adviser to general manager Adam Elias on top of being a community ambassador.  In an announcement Monday, the team revealed Jones will assist Elias in various areas as well as helping out the baseball operations department within the organization.

When Orioles players report to spring training, they'll have a new resource, sounding board and familiar face to help them through the season.
