On the day after he was traded, Wade Davis left his offseason house and walked down to a duck blind set up near a small pond in New York’s Hudson River Valley.
The trip was more practical than emotional. It was Thursday afternoon, and Davis and some company planned to go hunting the next morning. He figured he might try to call some birds and see if they might stay in the area overnight. But as he sat in the quiet of the blind and took in the scene, his thoughts drifted back to the news that had jolted his offseason, to four years spent in Kansas City, to a new future that awaits in Chicago.
