The Orioles plan to tap into new special adviser Adam Jones’ experience in Japan to help expand the ballclub’s reach.

Adam Jones may only be a special advisor for the Baltimore Orioles, but it’s clear he’s ready to make an impact on the franchise where he spent most of his career. Jones will work for general manager Mike Elias and also serve as a community ambassador for the club.

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