I'm sure this news will go over well.

48 hours ago we thought he was sitting at home.

Then we find out he is in Bowie working out.

Then we find out today that he has been in Bowie for "8 or 9 days" working out.

Then we find out he's accompanying the team on the trip to  New York.

Then we find out he has been activated to the active roster.

The only thing left is to find out he's in the starting lineup.   That's the equivalent of the horror movie where you find out THE PHONE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE!!!

This sucks.  It's a surefire way for whatever mojo this team had going to bring Davis back into the fold.  It makes no sense on a number of levels.  

But if I'm a guy like DJ Stewart who gets at bats slashed in half because of the presence of Chris Davis, I'd probably be irate.  That guy has something to prove and while Davis does too, Davis also has no shot in proving it.  He's been trying to do it already SINCE 2017.  

Like whatever feel good mojo this team has had off Mountcastle, Akin and Kremer, it's been dashed by the dark lord of strikeouts and ineptitude, Chris Davis.

Maybe Davis has told them he is retiring after the year and this is his last ditch effort to leave with some kind of dignity?

    • Am I crazy for thinking Burnes isn't going to sniff Cole's deal?  I'm thinking like 7/260-280.  I don't think he's going to sniff Cole's deal.  For starters i dont think hes as good a pitcher as Cole was at the time of his signing.  Also, the Yankees aren't going to be in the bidding so that leaves the Mets, Giants, Nats, Orioles as teams that can afford him.  The Sox could too, but they're on the fringe of contention and might opt to develop more with the Yankees and Orioles solidly ahead of them in division.  Only the Mets from that list really seem like teams that would go over 300m for a pitcher, but they will be pressed for money because of the luxury tax.
    • Agree a strong RHP bullpen arm that misses bats would be good to add. Looking at Spotrac I don’t see who it would be. Dominguez could certainly be someone that could fill this role. 
    • Definitely leave the flag up. 
    • It looks like I misread your post as being about last offseason instead of the 2017-2018 offseason.  My mistake, but does that in any way affect my overall point - you know the part that I made explicit and you left out of your response - that all the old, reflexive Angelosian nonsense no longer automatically applies? I'm unclear on what you're driving at, especially if I have to go back to the 2017-2018 offseason when Peter Angelos might still have been giving input on running the team.  I think it's a stretch to try to draw parallels to those days, or even the John Angelos years, to David Rubenstein potential as an owner.
    • Irsay stealing the Colts in a midnight sneak away is in my top five depressing B-More moments, as well as the dreaded We Are Family Pirates in the ‘79 series. Otherwise, it’s a good bad list.
    • I forgot the name of the movie, but Jimmy Fallon was playing a BoSox superfan (tough role for an NY kid) and it was during the era of the ‘curse’ (right at the end of it actually) — a kid he was coaching asked, “What have the Red Sox ever done for you?” His character didn’t have an answer. But it made me think. The movie was out during the 14-years of losing seasons. I asked myself the same question about whether a lifetime of fandom was worth it. For me, outside of my family - 15 generations or more on the Eastern Shore - the O’s are also part of my DNA.  Win, lose, lose horribly, lose ugly, bad ownership, they just can’t shake me. All that said, I totally understand the frustration. It will take me a little longer to heal from this ugly exit to 2024.
    • In the market and $$$ for SP = Mets, Cubs, BOS, WAS and SFG (depending on Snell opt-out).  That’s enough chairs when music stops for Burnes and Fried to cash in, and still ample for second tier Eovaldi, Manea, Kikuchi, Flaherty.
