Every year at the All Star Break, The Baltimore Sun publishes an analysis piece, “Five questions facing the Orioles.”
Within the piece is an item I didn’t want to become overlooked since several people have asked me about the subject. Though, frankly, the concept and result shouldn’t be surprises.
I talked to a source who confirmed that the Orioles have internally discussed whether they should consider trading Chris Davis this month. Ultimately, they decided no, or certainly not while the team is in spitting distance of the playoffs.
Davis is a pending free agent at year’s end, and there have been no real negotiations to re-sign him to a long-term deal.
