The Oakland A's have reportedly signed third baseman J.D. Davis to a one-year, $2.5MM contract with $1MM in performance bonuses, pending a physical.

Giants Release J.D. Davis Following Arbitration Victory

The San Francisco Giants released J.D. Davis after failing to find trade interest, owing to roster constraints and the signing of Matt Chapman. Davis, who became a free agent, was caught in a rarely used collective bargaining agreement clause, allowing the Giants to release him and owe only a fraction of his contract. The decision, while potentially problematic, was defended by the Giants' president of baseball operations, who emphasized the organization's treatment of players. Despite efforts to trade Davis, financial constraints and the unique offseason market led to his release, leaving him seeking a new team just weeks before opening day.

"Giants Exercise Loophole, Release J.D. Davis, Losing Most of His Salary"

The San Francisco Giants exploited a loophole in the MLB's Collective Bargaining Agreement to release third baseman J.D. Davis, cutting his $6.9 million salary to just over $1.1 million. The move has sparked controversy, with the team defending its actions as within their rights while Davis' agent disputes the negotiation process. The Giants' signing of free-agent third baseman Matt Chapman made Davis redundant, and the team's decision has raised questions about the treatment of arbitration-eligible players and potential changes to the CBA in the future.

"Giants Waive J.D. Davis After Chapman Signing"

The San Francisco Giants have placed third baseman J.D. Davis on waivers following the signing of Matt Chapman, making Davis expendable in the team's infield. Despite trade rumors, a deal couldn't be found, possibly due to the $6.9MM salary he is owed for the 2024 season. Davis' offensive production has been solid, but his defensive position has been a challenge. Several MLB teams with corner infield or DH needs could potentially be interested in Davis, but his salary and the presence of other free agents may complicate his market.

J.D. Davis Finds Success Amid Mets' Turmoil

Former New York Mets player J.D. Davis attributes his success with the San Francisco Giants to the instability he experienced during his time with the Mets.

Giants' Mitch Haniger's Season in Jeopardy After Forearm Fracture and Possible Surgery

San Francisco Giants outfielder Mitch Haniger will undergo surgery on his fractured right forearm, which typically carries a recovery time of three-to-six months, putting his first season with the team in jeopardy. In contrast, third baseman J.D. Davis received relatively optimistic news regarding his ankle, which was diagnosed as a Grade 1 sprain. Davis thinks he'll miss between three and 10 days, meaning a 10-day injured list stint might not even be necessary.
