Yesterday I wrote about how ownership appears to want to keep Chris Davis in a Baltimore Orioles uniform. However in saying that, keep in mind that this week the O’s are still the only team that can negotiate with Davis. For now, that is.
While free agency technically begins as soon as the World Series is over, for a period of five days free agents are only allowed to talk to their original team (or the team with whom their contract is expiring) to negotiate contracts. So from the Orioles’ standpoint, perhaps free agency doesn’t begin for Davis and the rest of their pending free agents until Saturday.
