The Chris Davis era of the Orioles is officially over. On Thursday morning, the team announced unexpectedly on Twitter that Davis is retiring from baseball, effective today. After years of wondering what was going to happen, what were they going to do with Davis, here we are. One August morning he just decided to announce that he had enough and he’s walking away from his playing career.
Davis’s statement that accompanied the retirement announcement:
After an extended time dealing with my injury and recent hip surgery, I informed the Orioles about my decision to retire effective today.
