Elephant Rumblings: Khris Davis retires from baseball

Happy Monday, Athletics Nation!

Khris Davis was the last Athletic to hit 40 home runs in a season, and only he and the legendary Jimmie Foxx ever did so in three consecutive seasons with the A’s. Davis exceeded the mark each year from 2016 through 2018 and led all of MLB during that period with 133 homers.

Khrush hasn’t had an MLB at-bat since 2021, and he told Bob Nightengale at USA Today that he is done with baseball. The 36-year-old former slugger, who made over $60 million in his baseball career, recently graduated from the Arizona Automotive Institute and plans to pursue his passion for cars as an auto mechanic.
