Chris Davis reported to Orioles camp Friday, nearly a week after he and his family got to Sarasota, a delay he said was caused by a case of the flu and then bronchitis that hit shortly after they arrived and slightly derailed his plans for an earlier arrival to Ed Smith Stadium.
Position players are required to report by Sunday, ahead of the first full-squad workout Monday, so Davis isn't reporting late. But the way questions grew throughout the week back in Baltimore as to why Davis wasn't an earlier participant in workouts illustrated the reality that the highest-paid player in Orioles history will have to deal with in 2019 and beyond.
