Unless there's a few details you may have missed or that I am missing.

The only detail that hasn't been mentioned is who the prospect was:

Well, Adam Jones is the team’s best trade chip. But unless the Orioles get a front-line pitcher in return, I don’t see them dealing Jones. The Atlanta Braves made a run this month, offering second baseman-outfielder Martin Prado, starter Jair Jurrjens and, eventually, a pitching prospect, and the Orioles didn’t bite. So that tells you just how much they value their center fielder. (Jurrjens looked like a front-line starter in the first half of 2011, but there have been some durability concerns surrounding the 25-year-old righty since his 215-inning season in 2009.)

Its been mentioned as a rumor but not verified the Os would have taken it if the Braves added a 2nd prospect, but the Braves turned that down. Im thinking the Os have other potential suitors for Jones in line if they thought they could get all that for him from the Braves.
