There is literally no team that would sign Davis for the most minimum right now.   Maybe a MiL deal.

Minor league deal with ST invite and a minimum contract if he makes the team.

Davis might do it out of pride and then actually make changes to his swing, something he hasn't done with all the big money he's getting from the O's.

If Buck didn’t give Davis the kid glove treatment last year he might have made some changes.

Buck’s ideas were bat Davis leadoff and keep him in the middle of the order for a majority of the season.

Who is this Buck person of whom you speak?

Manager at Bowie.

An old school manager who was perfect for the Orioles several years ago, but is out of his element in the age of analytics.

Good move to give Richie a blow. It's probably been an intense week for that dude. He's really held his own defensively but probably could use a day to take a breath. 

Plus the Turf too. Guess we’re not trusting Jackson too much.

I would like to see Jackson gets some at bats against ML pitching. He batted good in ST. Led the team in hits.

Partly because he played five more games than anybody else. But yeah, he hit pretty well, but it was mostly singles.

Those could be doubles and triples on the turf. The dude is super athletic. We will see him eventually. More worried that Alberto is supposed to be a defensive whiz but Hyde doesn’t trust him enough to play SS.

Villar at SS would be a big pickup for the Indians right now. Then he slides over to 2B when Lindor returns.

Miller and Stamets give them a big whoop in the middle of the infield.

O's might have to eat some salary to send him to the Indians.
