In a video released Wednesday, Jones congratulated the Braves’ four National League All-Stars and had some advice.

“I’d like to give a big shot out to Freddie Freeman, Nick Markakis, (Mike Foltynewicz) and Ozzie Albies on their 2018 election to the All-Star Game,” Jones said in a video posted by Fox Sports. “Guys, you deserve it. Make sure you go up there and enjoy it. It’s an awesome experience.”
