Presumably, Davidson is optioned or DFA after the game for McDermott, Rogers, or Houser tomorrow. 

Maybe I’m crazy. But I’d be a bit bummed to lose him to have him have thrown today. If it was just someone to finish out the season, I would’ve rather brought up McDermott or rogers (someone with options). Davidson had some really good stretches as a starter in aaa and was pretty lights out as a reliever down there. Losing him for 4 innings in a meaningless game feels wasteful.

Is he out of options? Thought he looked pretty good today in what I saw. Surprised it took this long to get him up here frankly.

Article from when we signed him last November said he was out of options. Wonder if povich makes the playoff roster or someone like him makes sense to option down. 
 

im a bit surprised he didn’t get called up sooner too other than the lack of options to send him back down after. But if we were going to just call him up for one bulk relief outing then release him, we could’ve done it for more meaningful games. 
 

he is only just reaching arbitration, so he’d have to stick on the roster next year unless they can pass him through waivers anyway, but you’d at least like to give him a spring training opportunity to make the bullpen.

He probably won’t get claimed.  He might accept an outright since he’ll be a free agent at end-of-year anyway if not added to 40-man and staying on Orioles minor league reserve list keeps him eligible as possible injury replacement for the playoffs.  If so, we can decide whether or not to add him to 40 at year end and tender him arbitration.
