Rajai Davis: Affordable, Talented, and Available

What should the Detroit Tigers do with Rajai Davis? The speedy outfielder has enjoyed his two years with Detroit and his $5 million contract. As a free agent for the 2016 season, the rumors about Davis’s future with the Tigers have been freely flying. As a platoon player, David will most likely not receive a $15.8 million qualifying offer in the next few days. But, this does not mean that the Tigers should not resign Davis. In fact, he has proven that he is a valuable player with a strong bat, explosive legs, and a useful glove.
