If the Orioles were on the cusp of greatness — or, at least a playoff season — you could make a case for giving up on Chris Davis.
If the Orioles were a team so wealthy that a poorly spent $92 million here or there wouldn’t affect their ability to compete for years to come, you could make a case for paying all that money to Davis and sending him home.
If anyone could be absolutely certain that the guy who won two major league home run titles simple forgot how to hit and will never be able to recover, it would be pretty easy to justify bidding the big fella a not-so-fond farewell.
