Most Baltimore Orioles fans didn’t know what to expect when the team signed Chris Davis to that massive, seven-year, $161 million dollar contract in January of 2016.
He had just come off a season in which he led MLB with 47 home runs, but since signing that contract, Davis has been outright terrible.
At this point, it’s likely that the front office regrets that deal. Who knows, but some of that money could’ve been used to possibly give Manny Machado a contract extension.
The Orioles are stuck with Chris Davis as no team would be foolish enough to trade for a player with that contract.
