Don't be a daft homer Droford. There was literally no market for Davis outside of Baltimore. None. They tried to play hard ball and instead ended up paying more money. Nobody was in the running except them. And they still, after giving their "final offer", spent more than they supposedly set a hard line. It's a complete pie in the face on the organization. Boras walked all over them like door mats. They don't look good at all in any of this. Especially when Davis turns into Ryan Howard 2.0.
Mark Trumbo-108 ops+, 0.8 WAR, -4 runs defensively
Jimmy Paredes-96 ops+, 0 2 WAR, - 5 runs defensively
Huge upgrade there. Great take, Droford.
