Jones appeared in only three games in 1978, going 0-2 with an earned run average of 5.84 in 12.1 innings pitched, though he did strike out 11 in that time.
That would end up being the end of his Major League tenure after parts of three season in the Big Leagues, originally up with the Boston Red Sox in 1976 when he did very well as a 21-year-old, going 5-3 with a nice 3.36 ERA over 24 appearances, 14 of them starts, and 104.1 innings pitched.
Sadly for him, he would end up being selected by the new Seattle organization as the 22nd pick in the 1976 expansion draft, going from a division power-house to a cellar-dwelling Mariners club.
He would end up going 1-4 for Seattle during their inaugural season of 1977, with an ERA at 5.10 over 10 appearances, all starts, and 42.1 innings of work.
All told, he’d finish his MLB career with a record of 6-9, with an ERA at 4.02 over 37 appearances and 159 innings pitched.
