Is there a place for a 38-year-old outfielder who is obviously at the end of his baseball shelf life? The New York Metropolitans, who are also known as the Mets or “Mutts” to their detractors, have cut ties with veteran Rajai Davis.
Davis was briefly a member of the Red Sox in 2017 where he did not exactly dazzle anyone with a .250 average in 17 games. Davis moved on to Cleveland in the offseason and the Indians were rewarded with a .224 average and Davis was rewarded by becoming a free agent. Davis offers one unique survival tool that is still àpropos at his advanced baseball age – speed.
