The Arizona Diamondbacks have reached an agreement on a one-year contract with outfielder Adam Jones, according to multiple reports Sunday.

The 33-year-old Jones is a five-time All-Star Game selection and a four-time Gold Glove Award winner. He is a career .278 hitter with 266 home runs in 13 MLB seasons -- his first two with the Seattle Mariners and last 11 with the Baltimore Orioles. He has seven career 20-home-run seasons.

Jones hit .281 with 15 home runs, 35 doubles and 63 RBIs in 145 games with the Orioles last season. He has primarily played center field throughout his MLB career.

Jones was an All-Star Game selection in 2009, '12, '13, '14 and '15. He also earned a Silver Slugger Award in 2013.
