Shapiro is probably kicking the tires on Davis vs EE/Bau extension. If EE and Bau want too much, and Davis can be had at a better valued contract, then sign Davis, and move EE/Bau and get a good prospect/pitcher in return. That way instead of one of them leaving and there being an offensive gap, it will be filled by Davis.
Trade Bautista for Strasburg. Boom. Come at me bro.
