Wouldn't Davis have been able to do wayyy better than that this off season? Draft pick compensation isn't nearly what it used to be.
I suppose he's 31. At that point teams don't seem willing to give 5 year deals anymore.
the Oakland Athletics announced they have signed slugger Khris Davis to a two-year contract extension covering the 2020 and 2021 seasons. The two-year deal is worth $33.5 million, according to Susan Slusser of the San Francisco Chronicle
Agree on all counts
Though I hope when the time is right they'll spend some money. They can afford that here more so than in Cleveland.
The risk is having too many uncompetitive years and losing fan interest. It's happening right now. The fans come back when the team is winning but its not immediate and too many years like this one and the team is easily forgotten by many fans.
