The Baltimore Orioles have handed out their fair share of mega-deals throughout the history of their franchise. The most recent of those deals went to slugging first baseman Chris Davis, though it did not work out that well for the Orioles in the long run.
Ken Griffey Jr. is the fourth-highest-paid Cincinnati Red. He's not the only former player leading team payrolls.
Davis was an MVP candidate in 2013 when he hit .286/.370/.634 with a whopping 53 home runs, on top of tallying 72 RBI and 103 runs scored on 167 hits.
Orioles general manager Mike Elias announced Wednesday that Chris Davis has undergone season-ending arthroscopic surgery on his left hip.
A last-place finish in the American League East in 2017 convinced Orioles management the team needed to jettison vets and start over. This rebuilding project clearly is going to take awhile, Justin Mears writes.
