They have 25 M in FA contracts off the books, another 20 M in options if they don't pick them up, plus a lot of arb contracts they don't necessarily have to tender. They have the wiggle room to sign Davis if they want to. BTW their payroll, according to Baseball Reference, ended up at about 144 M.

There are both wrong.

The Cards traded for three players at the trade deadline. Cishek, Broxton and Moss. BR includes their entire yearly salary instead of 1/3 for the salaries. The total counting Sept call ups is about 130m. People that want to diss Moss should know the the Card give up a 1st round pick for him.

I think Davis market value is about 7/150-160m. Compared to Teixeira's 8/180, Davis is a year older at the time for signing. Adrian Gonzalez 7/154m is also a data point.

The question is who is in a position to pay that amount. The O's will not. The Cards will not. The Yankees may by trading Beltran and having Davis play right field for a year and then move to first to replace Tex in 2017. A lot depends on whether the Yankees are in spending mod this offseason. And whether they will spend for Price and Davis.

If not the Yankees then Davis offers probably drops.

I'll be amused to see how it works itself out. Some how I think he wont be a Yankee or an Oriole.

Whether or not the O's are involved may depend on how much deferred payment he's willing to accept.

With Boras I think its normally the total dollars that drive the deal. Deferred payment may be part of the deal but the total dollars are what gets the deal done IMO.

While watching Toronto and Kc fighting it out in game. 6 3-3 tie during rain delay a horrifying thought came upon me if what Toronto's lineup would be like if they signed Davis! Omg they would be a threat to win 125 games with him and his home runs and ribs in their lineup. Scary thought!

Plus he kills the Jays. Nothing puts you on a teams radar like mashing on them.

Well like everyone else on here, I'd like to see CD back with the club - but that just ain't happening. The team will be going in a ""different direction"" (I can just hear it now). Anyway, Davis hired Boras and Angelos won't pay the man, so I believe next season we'll be seeing Davis in pinstripes.

If you had AJ Reed in your system would you spend 25 M AAV on CD?

Sure. When adding Davis keeps them under 2009 payroll figures, why not? Reed could get hurt or not pan out. Or if he's as good as advertised, Davis could go to DH or OF. Springer could go be moved for more prospects.

Just because you have someone touted as the next great thing shouldn't dissuade you from adding talent. That's how you miss out on Buster Posey.

      What I'd like to see in the next game Holliday plays, is for him to keep his eyes following through on the ball when he swings. In the last game I saw, he was yanking his head off the zone when he swung and couldn't see the bat to the ball. He was missing wildly and it wasn't even competitive. So, keep your eye on the ball! Follow all the way through! If your swing is so violent that it's yanking your head off the sight of the ball, then adjust your mechanics because you can't hit what you can't see!

      What a great example of pedantic! Please tell us you meant to do that. I honestly can’t tell these days.

      Well it certainly doesn't look like he'll be winning Rookie of Year award. And if we send him down for like the tiniest amount of time, we get him for another year, right? I think if this poor hitting continues it's financial mismanagement not to send him back down. Grayson got sent down and came back way better.

      He certainly isn't a bust but I wasn't happy with the pick at the time and I don't love using the second overall pick for that type of player profile. Westburg signed for slot so he's irrelevant but Mayo was a great use of the money saved.

      Think Heston will be the next call up. Mayo’s K/BB ratio is poor and I think they’ll want to see that even out. Stowers and Norby have seen their numbers slip a bit.  It will likely take an injury to an outfielder or first baseman, but I think we see HK next.

      I have to laugh at some of my pre-draft thoughts as well as others. I will say on behalf of myself and some others is that what we did not understand then was what the Orioles brain trust knew to be their model, and what they best developed. What traits they were looking for is an important thing to know, in hindsight anyway. And really, the Jackson Holliday leap in development was not something most of us heard anything about until about a month before the draft. I saw him the previous summer and I cannot say he was all that impressive, but it was only one look. His physicality took a big jump after that.  I will also add that we’re never going to know what would have happened if they drafted Austin Martin, Jones, Lawler, Lacy, etc. Their development could well have been different as O’s. The funny part of this board, in general, is the absolute certainty some have in their opinions and how eager they are to trash Elias and staff. There is plenty of humility to go around, now that things have played out. It’s fun to finally have a truly great front office and ownership group, and a stacked stable of horses.
