Khris Davis would like to stay with A's several years

MESA, Ariz. -- Majors home run leader Khris Davis would like a multiyear deal from the Oakland Athletics to stay with the franchise at least three more years.

Oakland general manager David Forst has said signing Davis long term is a top priority, but the team spent the offseason putting pieces around the star outfielder and designated hitter to try to build another consistent contender. Led by Davis' 48 home runs and career-high 123 RBIs, the A's returned to the playoffs for the first time in four years.

The slugger received a $6 million raise this offseason to $16.
