It’s well known that a dominant reliever can take you places in the playoffs. You know, like Chapman did for the Chicago Cubs, and Andrew Miller did for the Indians, etc. In this day and age, when these guys become free agents, they become hot commodities. Chapman got five years/$90 million with the Yankees. Miller got four years/$36 million with the Yankees three years ago. Kenley Jansen got five years/$80 million with the Dodgers. Dominant relievers get PAID. Davis has arguably been the single most dominant reliever in baseball over the past four years or so, therefore, he will get himself some money this year, too.
