NL West Thread

If he clears waivers J.D. Davis should fire his agent. I would fire him either way, you just can't whiff on a detail like this when it's your job.




If Davis had not gone to arbitration and had signed the Giants' offer his salary would be guaranteed and they would not be able to waive him so cheaply. He basically gave that guarantee up for a chance at an extra $350K in arbitration. Even if some of the blame/fault should fall on Davis I have trouble seeing a scenario where his agent didn't also drop the ball here.
That arbitration hearing got my attention at the time. They were quibbling over less than 5% the value of the deal. That just didn’t make sense.

There are rumblings that Davis may file a grievance since the clause is supposed to be used for underperforming players. But Davis is raking this spring, so it would be hard to defend he is “getting fired with cause”.

This is certainly an interesting story, still developing.
