Baltimore keeps Davis
A Baltimore Orioles offseason focused on retaining first baseman Chris Davis had its twists and turns. But just as the team seemed ready to turn its back on the popular slugger, the Orioles re-signed him to a deal that will make him the highest-paid player in franchise history.
Davis, 29, agreed to a seven-year, $161 million contract early Saturday that will keep the two-time major-league home-run king in Baltimore, according to an industry source. The deal is pending a medical review of Davis.
