The Mariners have asked center fielder Adam Jones to leave his Venezuelan Winter League team and return to the United States. Jones, one of Seattle's top prospects, is supposedly the main player targeted by Baltimore in the trade.

The Seattle Times reported that Jones was returning to take a physical in Baltimore. Mariners spokesman Tim Hevly confirmed that Jones was asked to return, but did not give a reason for the request.

There is plenty of speculation about the other players involved in the potential deal. Relief pitcher George Sherrill has been mentioned in some reports, especially because the Orioles need a closer to replace injured Chris Ray.

While Adam Jones and George Sherrill make arrangements to visit the Inner Harbor and maybe head over to Canton Square
