Davis is 3-for-27 with one home run, two RBI, three walks and 11 strikeouts through 10 spring games.
EDGE Analysis
He hit one out in his first at-bat of the spring, but hasn't had an extra-base hit since. Of course, spring stats don't really matter, and Davis still has a couple weeks to work out the kinks in his swing before the games start to count. Davis, who signed a seven-year, $161 million deal in the offseason, is expected to be the everyday first baseman even with the additions of Mark Trumbo and Pedro Alvarez.

Davis will return to the Orioles on a seven-year, $161 million deal, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
It appeared Davis had spurned the Orioles and their previous $150 million offer, but the magic of Scott Boras and the Orioles lack of left-handed hitters and power without Davis was enough to get the deal done. Davis will remain in the home run haven of Camden Yards, which was the second most homer friendly park in MLB last season going by park factors. There is a very real, and possibly even inevitable, chance that this deal eventually sours, considering Davis' high strikeout rates and defense that is questionable even at first base. The deal is the largest in Orioles history and positions Davis firmly as one of their franchise players.

Davis declined his qualifying offer from the Orioles on Friday and remains a free agent, Chris Cotillo of SB Nation reports.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, Davis declined the one-year, $15.8 million offer, with a much more lucrative payday awaiting him on the open market. The 29-year-old rebounded from a 2014 season in which he hit under the Mendoza Line, posting a .923 OPS with 47 home runs in 2015, giving him 159 homers over the last four seasons.

Davis was extended a qualifying offer by the Orioles on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The Orioles were expected to tender an offer, but it's very unlikely Davis will accept. After a disappointing 2014 campaign, the 29-year-old had a bounce-back 2015, slugging 47 home runs while raising his average back up to .262. He'll be among the most coveted free agents, and could land the highest contract among hitters of the 2016 class.

Davis went 2-for-4 with a pair of solo homers in Game 2 of Wednesday's doubleheader against the Blue Jays.
EDGE Analysis
Manny Machado and Davis went back-to-back in the bottom of the seventh, and Davis went yard again one inning later for his 45th of the year. Davis is now one ahead of Seattle's Nelson Cruz for the American League home run lead.

Davis was 1-for-4 with a double, RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 4-1 victory over the Nationals.
EDGE Analysis
After a recent three-game stretch where Davis only mustered three walks over eight at-bats, the veteran slugger's bat has heated up again. Davis now has a three-game hitting streak and is hitting .417 (5-for-12) over that span, with three doubles, a homer, three RBI and three runs scored.

Davis went 2-for-6 with a game-winning RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 6-5 victory over the Red Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Davis' single in the 13th inning plated Gerardo Parra, giving him 19 hits and 15 RBI in 14 September contests. The power-hitting first baseman shows no signs of slowing down, with four multi-hit outings in his last six games. Davis figures to continue a push for the 50-homer mark over the remainder of the 2015 campaign, although it will take one of his trademark barrages to get there.

Davis swatted his MLB-leading 42nd homer in Sunday's 8-2 win over the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Davis hit the Orioles' fourth and final homer of the evening off Royals ace Johnny Cueto in the fifth inning, surpassing the Mariners' Nelson Cruz for the MLB lead in the process. The 29-year-old has already hit seven long balls and has driven in 14 runs in just 11 games in September.

Davis went 2-for-2 with a double, two walks and two RBI against the Yankees on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
An out machine last year, Davis has now lifted his OBP to .351, its highest point since the first week of the season. He's on an eight-game hitting streak, and he's racked up six homers and two doubles (not to mention seven walks) in that span.

Davis went 1-for-3 with a game-winning solo homer and a walk in Monday's 2-1 victory over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Davis is on one of his renowned torrid streaks with the bat, and his 41st round-tripper of the season leading off the ninth against Chasen Shreve propelled the Orioles to victory. Davis has now hit homers in four out of his last seven games and has blasted six homers and 10 RBI in seven September contests. He's hit safely in all of those outings as well, and in nine out of the last 10 overall. Davis' sizzling start to the month comes after a 10-homer August and gives him an outside chance of reaching the 50-homer mark for the second time in three seasons.
