Adam Jones excited, humbled about potential of new long-term deal

Orioles center fielder Adam Jones is on the threshold of becoming the highest-paid player in the history of the team. Jones' agent, Nez Balelo, and Orioles executive vice president Dan Duquette have been negotiating an extension believed to be for six years and worth roughly $85 million. Both sides said the deal was not yet completed, though the fans at Camden Yards weren't worried about such technicalities, giving Jones a rousing ovation when he stepped to the plate in the first inning Friday.
