Why A’s will have Khris Davis for 2 more years — but longer would be prudent

LAS VEGAS — A multiyear extension for Khris Davis isn’t uppermost in the A’s minds as the winter meetings wrap up Thursday — but it will be a focus in one month.

On Jan. 11, if Oakland hasn’t already come to terms with the major league’s top home-run hitter, the two sides will exchange arbitration figures. Davis is expected to get $17 million or more if a hearing is necessary, but the A’s would like to avoid that because arbitration proceedings can become unpleasant and Oakland wants a long-term relationship with their DH.
