According to Heyman, Davis signs with Baltimore 7/161. Orioles have not confirmed. This makes no sense right? I thought the Orioles were refusing to meet his 7/154 demands.

Davis was looking for over 200 million.

Not even a million more per year than their original offer, not bad for both parties. The O's needed the lefthanded bat in the line-up, and Davis is about as consistent a shot for 35+ HR's as you can get. Good move on their part for sticking to their offer..."Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake."

Originally posted by eldiablo505Chris Davis has a (not so desirable) comparable who also got a mega contract after hittin' all them dingers:

While I have generally been aghast at the stupidity of teams giving contracts to first baseman mashers like Fielder and Pujols, I don't mind this deal all that much. I think Davis will be a lot better than Howard was, and I think the contract, which has a reported management value of $127.5 millions is a decent one in today's crazy contract climate. It is a substantially less costly contract that Justin Upton's, according to this source http://www.beyondtheboxscore.com/201...lb-free-agency. Of course, a case could be made that Upton deserved a much better deal than Davis, but Davis has done more at the plate, and fits perfectly with Baltimore, so I don't blame them for making this deal. My initial reaction is that it doesn't compare to the Fielder or Pujols or Howard deals in terms of insanity.Last edited by Sour Masher; 01-21-2016, 06:59 PM.

The other thing about the Howard deal was that he had been getting demonstrably worse each year, especially vs. LHP. Davis' production has been all over the place, but it's not on a downward trajectory like that.Originally posted by Kevin SeitzerWe pinch ran for Altuve specifically to screw over Mith's fantasy team.
