    Even though Adam Jones isn't from Baltimore, he's making sure it'll be home for a while longer.

    Jones signed a six-year, $85.5 million contract with the Orioles on Sunday, ensuring that the 26-year-old center fielder will be with the team through 2018.

    "I fit here in this city. I fit here on this team. I fit in Camden Yards. I don't see myself wearing another white uniform that doesn't have Orioles across the chest," said Jones, a native of San Diego.

    "I'm not from Baltimore. This is now my town."
