I'm guessing he's starting to live up to his potential?
He has 14 HRs with a .311 BA and .958 OPS this year. Plus his glove has been excellent at CF and he's won multiple games with game-winning HRs in extra innings this year.

What’s ironic is that the failure to trade Jones is partly what got MacPhail fired. The biggest knock on him was that he held on to assets too long and couldn’t trade them for useable assets. He couldn’t pull the trigger on a deal because he couldn’t part with a player on the off-chance the player lived up to potential. His inability to make a big decision worked out in the Orioles’ favor.
