Chris Davis did not know the Orioles had Offered an Extension?

[birdcrazy]

So imagine being CD and spouting how much you love the town and want to be here long term...only to find out an extension offer was made, but Boras never told you.

This is a tough one for me. If Davis wants to be here long term, then Boras is likely the wrong agent. Boras is the type to scoff at an extension like Jones or Markakis got, though Davis may find such fair.

According to our resident baseball expert this couldn't have happened. Boras would never do such a thing. Chris had to have known, and was just blowing off Roch to avoid discussing contract issues.

So, if that is true, I assume we'll see Davis firing Boras in the coming week? I mean, you can't stay with an agent if he is so directly working at cross-purposes with your best interests, right?

Thus sayeth our resident baseball expert. Move along nothing to see here.

Davis does not strike me as the type to open up a can of worms with that response unless he really did not know.

Or the Orioles contract extension number was so low that Boras would never take it to his client. Token extension offers are not serious offers.

Extent of "discussion"....

Boras: "This is the Scott Boras agency. Please leave your message at the tone." DD: "Hello, Scott, this is Dan. What kind of home town discount can we expect?"

Do the Orioles have the least amount of players signed to long term contracts that go beyond 2014?

Dan didn't say when he talked extension with Boras. It may not have been recently. Could have been last season. Davis said he knew there was some discussion last season but nothing came of it. Dan's reference was vague.

I think serious conversion will occur between Boras and Dan later this month. Chris will know about it. First Dan has be sign a couple of pitchers and sign Wieters to a one year contract. Then the focus turns to Davis and Hardy's extensions.

Hardy we'll sign to a 3/45 type deal. The end of the contract will probably end up like Mora and Roberts and Kakes before him, but, I like JJ and would be happy with an extension.

Davis is likely going to be a 150 million player, and Angelos nor the Orioles have ever shown me a willingness to pay this for anyone. I think the odds of Davis being an Oriole long term are at about 10%, especially after listening to Dan repeatedly talk about the "market size" yesterday.

Sign them or trade them. Not much choice.

I thought Dan was pretty specific that they had put a long term offer on the table but nothing had come of it. As opposed to Wieters where he said there had been "discussions" the last two springs that hadn't led anywhere.

I find it interesting that Hardy also didn't seem to know that the O's were interested in discussing an extension or when those discussions would occur. http://www.masnsports.com/steve_melewski/2014/02/jj-hardy-says-he-hasnt-yet-discussed-extension-with-os.html Duquette has been pretty clear about wanting to extend Hardy.

Hardy knows the O's are interested. The negotiation just hasn't happened yet. I though it was significant that Manny wanted to stay a 3rd and Buck made the point that he wants Hardy to stay at SS. This may slow down the talk of Manny moving to SS. But some will never give up on it.

You were at the 10:30 session with Dan and Buck. I was not. I will defer to you on that one as it relates to what was said of the offer to Davis. I saw the 2nd session.

I was there as well. I think you captured the tone and the intent very well.

@Jim_Duquette: "If Chris Davis has another year like he did this past year, he's going to make north of $175 million" #Orioles

I said 6/140 or 7/160 yesterday.

And I don't think Davis needs to hit 50 plus HR like he did last year. If he has anywhere close he will get huge money.
