Orioles center fielder Adam Jones spent the series against the Yankees being extremely outspoken -- there was his pre- and post-game talk about Yankees hurler Masahiro Tanaka to go along with his take on fans who run on to the field, specifically some Pinstripes die-hards who stormed the diamond Tuesday.
According to a report, his comments about fans who run on the field -- "they should let us have a shot to kick them with our metal spikes on because it's stupid" -- could be raising eyebrows at league headquarters.
CBS Baltimore said Major League Baseball "is said to be reviewing the comments."
MLB might be deciding whether to fine Jones for his comments, but it's likely the players' association would have something to say before allowing a player to be fined for voicing safety concerns.
On Wednesday, before the Yankees' loss to the Orioles, Jones backpedaled a little, saying he wasn't worried about being disciplined and stands by his comments, but he does not want to inflict injuries, CBS Baltimore reported.
