Roch Kubatko wonders how the Chris Davis contract will be discusses as the Orioles interview for a new head of Baseball Operations:

Scouts in other organizations, and I’m sure there are a few working for the Orioles, wonder if Davis can stop being so vulnerable to pitchers with plus-velocity. The mid-to-upper 90s guys work him inside and he can’t catch up to the fastball. Can he get back to his 2013 and 2015 form, with the combined 100 home runs, 255 RBIs and 11.8 WAR? Or are the best days behind Davis, with perhaps a softening of past stances against eating long-term contracts awaiting the new hire?

If there is no real physical injury to Davis, it is unlikely he returns to form. I can’t believe that someone playing as poorly as Davis did in 2018 wasn’t constantly working on getting stronger. Sometimes, the body just gives out.
