nice raise for him, if he has another season like last year he could easily be a 20 mil a year player
Lionel Bossman Craft
Easily?
alphabet_soup5
Think of how Bautista was regarded after 2011.
GoRav114
adverb, means without difficulty. If Davis continues to hit the way he hit in 2013 he will hit free agency and easily get 20 million a year

Orioles would be smart to try and lock him up before his price gets crazy, same way Jays did with Bautista after his big year.

Understatement of the year. I think they want to see how 2014 goes, but I’m with you.

My guess is that they have tried. Davis is a Boras client and he does not usually sign extensions. When the O’s approached Boras about a Weiters extension he wanted Weiters to get Joe Mauer money, that being said I don’t think there is anyway Boras would use Bautista’s contract as a starting point, probably more like Texieria’s contract.

I wonder what guys like Boras charge their clients?
GRN_
5% ish
jarek redman 5
I assumed it was around there. Wasn’t sure if the high-profile guys can charge a bit more like 7 or 8.
jkb
5% of the contract value or 5% of what davis takes home after taxes?
jarek redman 5
I assume is contract and then Boras gets taxed himself.
Michael 22
$517,500 for saying “Yeah, go ahead and sign”?
iLIKEtheGIANTSmucho
I’m sure he has to sign some stuff to, maybe even some initials here and there

I’m sorry to hear that Boras represents Davis. It doesn’t guarantee that Davis will be gone after 2015, but it surely makes it more probable—especially if Crush can stay healthy and hit around 40 bombs each of the next two years.
Let’s enjoy him while we can. 10 million is a bargain for this year.

Umm why would he have been let go?

The optimist in me wants to say that you are trolling
Kelly Klemetsrud
I love the O’s.. I wonder if the Dodgers would be the only team that could afford him?
orangeoctober
id expect the orioles to resign davis and probably let wieters go unless he’s willing to sign for less
