The Orioles needs to publicly humiliate Davis at every opportunity like the Yankees have done with their underachieving players over the years.

It is possible that an unreported buyout of some kind happened.

The Chris Davis solution is simple...I can't believe the analytics guys haven't figured this out.  CD slugs .261/.346/.478/.824 in Orioles victories. Just play him when they win... https://w

Just wondering- does releasing a player change the payout structure of a contract? Hypothetically, if Davis is released, would he be owed all the money remaining on the deal immediately if an agreement stating otherwise was not reached?

 

No, it does not.  The only thing that could change any of the payouts are if Davis, after being released, signs a contract with another team.  The other team pays Davis the veteran's minimum, which is deducted from what the Orioles would pay.  The Orioles then pay the rest of it.  The current minimum is $555,000.  Depending on the time of year, that would also be prorated as well.  

We're stuck with Davis for the rest of the year, and I imagine the start of next year.  With manipulating service time for Mountcastle and a few others, you might start the discussion in the middle of May for the potential to release Davis.  In all likelihood, he's going to finish 2020 as an Oriole, and then that's going to be it.

He'd stay on the 40 man roster, but at least we could bring someone up on the 25 man roster.  That's how the section reads.  Davis would be on the reserve list.  Honestly, I'd rather do that and have him eat an empty 40 man spot, have Mancini at 1st, and bring up an outfielder, than see the crap he's doing.  Only negative is it would probably ruin the relationship between Davis and the Orioles, but at this point, barring adjustments, does it really matter?

It would also strain the Orioles relationship with the MLBPA, and also affect how other players view the team and their potential to sign with the club and feel that the club has their best interests at heart.

If there is a strike and Davis strikes with the other players, he won't be paid.  But what happens if he is released before a potential strike?  Would he still be on strike with the other players even if the O's released him?  Or would the O's be on the hook for the guaranteed contract?  

All members of the MLBPA would be on strike. Including Davis. All missed games would be deducted from his payout.

      Os claim Nick Avila

      By OnlyOneOriole · Posted

      This is a secondary or more accurately a thirdly or even a fourthly move.  Something he does all of the time.  It means next to nothing.  Elias loves to do this kind of thing.  And overall......it doesn't matter!   He may hit 1 out of 11 or even 2 out of 20 of these things....which is fine!  It is all reward and no risk.  So whatever.    At the very least it provides depth in the minor leagues.  Will it make or break the Os?  Hell no. If you can't tell the difference between me talking about Elias's fascination with other teams high velocity/high spin castoffs who can't stay on the major league club, and real actual major league moves?  Then you haven't been paying attention. I could give you 5 examples just in the past year.  Just another example of people like you COMPLETELY lying about a post I make.  And don't worry......you aren't alone.  Lots of people do it on here.  Again.....it doesn't matter.  This move.  Doesn't matter.   But if you want to call me a troll for you thinking I THINK that these types of moves somehow invalidate what Elias has done here overall for the past 5 years?   Then you be you.    But it isn't true.

      At what cost? You weren't getting Cease for DL Hall and Ortiz or it would have happened. Would you have been fine trading away Westburg or Cowser+ for him? At least he's having an up year from 2023. 2023 2024

      For me, it’s not about Moore’s tournament performance as much as his apparent ability to square the ball up and use the entire field. Legit power and hit tool.

      Right, which is why the Tigers kicked in 18M.

      Norby was cleaner at 2B, but Moore has better athleticism. Moore would need a lot of work to stay on the dirt. I would think they want to move him quickly, whichever team takes him.

      The 2024 Trade Deadline

      3. There was a lot of second guessing of the Verlander trade at the time.  Verlander was seen by many as a pitcher who's best days where behind him.

      Just a friendly FYI: If you click on the Tweet itself to open it, and then "copy" the web address of that Tweet, you can then "paste' the Tweet here and it'll imbed properly and the Tweet itself will appear within your post here (versus being a clickable link in your post).   The "copy link" feature of Twitter doesn't always work on message boards any more.
