Oct 31, 2014 2:22 PM

Adam Jones has signed a six-year, $85.5 million contract with the Orioles, 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," Jones said. "I'm not from Baltimore. This is now my town." Jones extended his hitting streak to 18 games with a double in Sunday's loss and leads the team in home runs and RBIs.

Galarraga, 30, will help the Astros fill a rotation spot at Triple-A Oklahoma City, which has a need for a starter after Henry Sosa agreed to pitch in Korea.
