Chris Davis Free Agency Discussion

Howard Berger

#BlueJays and free agent slugger Chris Davis appear to be in a serious contract dance. This would be a terrific move - short and long-term.

[SpeedyGose]

Yes. Yes. Yes.

[JaysRap]

Lol.

[Stangstag]

Wut

[KingKat]

Who is Howard Berger?

[Angrioter]

Quien diablos es este tipo?

[Sammy225]

Who is Howard Berger?

 

I think he was my sandwich artist at subway

[GD]

I swear he's a hockey reporter or something

[G-Snarls]

Seriously?!?!?!

[Captain Adama]

I swear he's a hockey reporter or something

 

He's a f***ing Leafs reporter lol

 

Take it with a grain of salt IMO.

[Angrioter]

strategy to sign Edwin for less money

[BallsDeep]

I swear he's a hockey reporter or something

 

Yeah he was - got fired I believe. Wouldn't hold my breath.

[THANOS]

What the f*** lol?

 

Is this guy a legit reporter? Has he ever been right before?

This is your daily reminder of how awful Davis was in 2014

He is mostly a Leafs reporter but since the Leafs suck balls he though it would be better to pretend to be a jays reporter.

 

SO DO NOT LISTEN TO HIM LOL.

I hope this doesn't happen. Chris Davis would get an ugly contract and he could easily become a Howard-esque negative asset albatross, as early as next year.

... k, but over the last 3 seasons he has a .378 wOBA and has averaged 42 HR.

[G-Snarls]

No

 

I put zero stock in this

I really can't see the Jays bringing in another 1B/DH type anyways. Even if they have that kind of money to sign, you have to figure they'd spend it somewhere else.

[Sammy225]

If Davidi or BNS don't report on something then it is not worth listening to

[dineke]

What kind of dance? That's a pretty important detail.

He's had 2 good years, and 30 years old to start the season. Hopefully it's not us who overpays him. Projects for about 2.5 war next year lol..

Source: #BlueJays have legitimate interest in signing Chris Davis. Unknown where talks currently stand. Story coming on @BB_Essential.

 

Murray could be hopping on the Berger bandwagon, or perhaps there is something behind here and sources are talking with everyone.

Another dude I've never heard of.

Cha cha

[HERPDERP]

Another dude I've never heard of.

 

He'd broken quite a few deals in the past, some small. His biggest one (also his first) was Butler signing.

[Dr. Dinger]

The only thing is, if we were to sign Davis, $4M to Smoak seems like a terrible waste. The possibility of four 40 HR bats in our lineup tho? I can fap to this.

[Laika]

I don't see any reason why Howard Berger would have this type of info. I don't even think he's employed right now.

 

Linking through his twitter, looks like he just started a new blog on Dec 4th. He's probably trying to create some kind of buzz around his name. This is possibly a desperate man making a calculated lie:
