MESA, Ariz. - New Oakland center fielder Rajai Davis was so excited to don the A’s jersey again after an absence of seven years that he put it on over his street clothes to speak to the media and introduce himself to staff members.
“He had his cap and his jersey on - and slacks and dress shoes,” A’s manager Bob Melvin said. “I said ‘Did you come in here like that?’ He’s excited about being here and those are the kind of guys you want.”
Davis will be playing alongside left fielder Khris Davis, no relation.
