Davis' Mystery Team is ....Nationals? Tigers?

O's have a 1B, Trumbo.

Trumbo is either going to be Nelson Cruz good or Travis Snider bad. I don't see an in-between happening

Now that the Nats have acquired Ben Revere, the only place they could still use Davis is occupied by Zimmerman.

I think the Nationals are done on the offensive side.

Pretty much, except for Ryan Zimmerman's lawsuit.

Wow ...Really?

If Trumbo plays everyday he will likely hit .240-.260 20-30 hrs and 60-85 RBIs. I'd say that fits the in between.

I hope Davis ends up with half of our initial offer. I hate to be cruel, but he's the one who blankety stated "it's out of my hands" so let him deal with the consequences.

Rather unlikely that the Nats will re-enter the outfield market. The move seemingly takes them out of the running for Gerardo Parra and would make a play for Justin Upton or Yoenis Cespedes seem even more remote.

Yea, it's utterly inconceivable that he could play like he did during his 2011, 2012, 2013, or 2015 seasons where he was a league average-ish 1.5-3 win player.

Jeff Fletcher of the Orange County Register, on the other hand, hears that the Angels are “still not really involved” in the top of the free agent outfield market.

I think Wieters was stupid to take the one-year deal. Davis and Boras would have to be freebasing industrial chemicals to do that. Davis is a year removed from almost not being tendered a contract.

The thing is, wieters is hovering around the midpoint of his into free agency potential value, while Davis is near the top. MW has reasonable upside to counter the risk. Davis has way further to fall w/r/t value and not nearly enough upside to justify forgoing a long term deal of that size.

We've already offered Davis too much. I guess if Upton got 7/$175 mm somewhere we might have to worry about someone outbidding us on Davis.

I don't see that happening with heyward at 185/8

That's an odd take seeing as he has been in between those two levels his entire career.

Let the Nats sign CD.

If they do I will become a new Nats fan and start going to their games and watching as many as I can on TV. That would be a very smart move by the Nat to increase fan support as well as weakening the Orioles in a number of ways obviously! If the Orioles can't retain Davis I actually don't mind this at all for the selfish reason as I love watching Davis hitting homers.

The Nationals are a far better team than the Orioles. They will be more exciting to watch regardless. I am still an O's fan but I can't stand watching them miss out on top/decent free agents as well as letting their home grown talent walk.

Seriously? One player goes and your a Nats fan? Come on man.....tell me this a joke. If the O's let Davis walk and then proceed to do nothing of consequence I will lose my mind and be angry as hell, I may boycott or cut back on how much of my money the O's get, the one thing I will never do though is become a Nats fan.

They are IMO very impressive in their aggressive moves they make to at least try to improve their team and the opposite of the cheapskate Orioles philosophy. What they do is sort of shove it in the Orioles face that it can be done even by a small market team.
