Ken Rosenthal of FOXSports.com reports that Adam Jones' extension with the Orioles is expected to be for six years and around $85 million.
It seems like a pretty fair deal for both sides. Jones is in the midst of a career year, as he sports a .311/.357/.601 batting line to go with 14 homers. He had been set to be arbitration-eligible for the final time in 2013 before hitting free agency. The deal would be the largest in Orioles history, easily outpacing Miguel Tejada's six-year, $72 million free agent deal back in 2004.
