Oakland A's executive vice president of baseball operations Billy Beane confirmed the team has had "preliminary" discussions about a contract extension with designated hitter Khris Davis.
"We've had some preliminary conversations about keeping him around longer," Beane told reporters Friday, according to NBC Sports California's Ben Ross. "The good thing is Khris is going to be back next year for sure, no matter what. But we're also aware of the fact that he's going to be a free agent after that. We're aware of his value to the club."
