Khris Davis, Athletics Agree to 1-Year Contract, Avoid Arbitration

The Oakland Athletics announced Wednesday they have come to terms on a one-year deal with outfielder Khris Davis to avoid arbitration.

According to Jon Heyman of FanRag Sports, the two sides agreed on a $10.5 million deal.

Davis has spent the past two years in Oakland after starting his career with the Milwaukee Bucks. In that time, he has become one of the top power hitters in the game, hitting 42 home runs in 2016 and 43 in 2017.

As the team noted, his 85 home runs in the last two years trail only Giancarlo Stanton (86) for the most in the majors.
