Baltimore Orioles: Would O’s DFA Chris Davis if he struggles next year?
Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis has struggled ever since signing that huge contract after the 2015 Season
It’s no secret that the Baltimore Orioles will have trouble moving Chris Davis due to the money that is remaining on his contract, but that doesn’t mean they can’t DFA him if he’s struggling; no team is going to claim that contract off waivers based on how he’s played recently.
In each of the last three seasons since signing that seven-year deal, Davis’ home run totals and batting average have fallen significantly. You can say that injuries have plagued him in 2017 and 2018, but that’s still not an excuse.
