As an Orioles fan the deal they gave Davis was really dumb for someone reasons. First, he had no huge offer even close to the Orioles offer on the table. Second, they knew he was using Adderall without a prescription. Third, why would the team sign Davis and then allow players like Britton, Adam Jones, Machado and Cruz walk?
The Orioles honestly just do some really dumb things, or did under Angelos. They didn't want to spend money on international prospects, they didn't like spending on free agents, they didn't believe that you pay a lot for starting pitchers, they would carry multiple Rule 5 guys on the roster, they would held on to Machado until the last year of his deal when if they would have traded him the year before they could have likely net two top 5 prospects from most any farm system that wanted Machado. Very odd that Davis got the monster deal that I thought would have ended up in Adam Jones, Manny Machado or Matt Wieters bank account.
In retrospect those decisions are EXTREMELY questionable. I suppose it made sense that Britton would get snatched by the buy-to-win-but-haven’t-since-2009 Yankees, but letting everyone else go without getting much in return while signing a monster contract with Davis... yikes. It’s like selling your good shares and then investing all that money in one thing on the stock market only for it to immediately go under.

What an idiot. Didn't he have 2 more years at $23M or some ridiculous salary? I would have just ridden out the contract and banked the money. I guess I have no shame though.
Taking into account this administration's inflation program and the socialists future for this country you're prolly right 1 mill in the future will be worthless

Chris Davis will get 3.5 million every year on July 1st from 2023-2032 and 1.4 mill on July 1st from 2033-2037.
