On Tuesday, the Roswell, Ga., native was shipped from the Tigers to the Red Sox for a player to be named later. He\u2019s struggled this season, hitting .137\/.219\/.221 across 57 games, but batted a career-best .287\/.387\/.550 in 2025. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was really excited,\u201d Jones said Friday in his first public comments since the trade. \u201cObviously I understand what kind of baseball they\u2019ve been playing the last few weeks, the kind of history that\u2019s been in the stadium. Watched a lot of Red Sox games. Ironically, I loved Boston growing up. Loved just everything about it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Jones was a second-round pick of the Angels in 2015, and he crossed paths with Red Sox interim manager Chad Tracy there. He also spent time with the Orioles, Dodgers, Brewers, and Yankees, before heading to Detroit.<\/span><\/p>\n
