The Mets released Davis on July 16.
EDGE Analysis
The 29-year-old outfielder saw time in the big leagues with the Giants from 2019 through 2021 and with the Red Sox in 2022, but he played exclusively in the minors during his first season in the Mets organization. Over 309 plate appearances at Triple-A Syracuse, Davis slashed .224/.343/.440 with 13 home runs and two stolen bases before getting cut loose shortly after the All-Star break. Davis will seek out another minor-league deal elsewhere or perhaps explore his options overseas now that he's a free agent.

Davis was reassigned to minor-league camp by the Mets on Saturday, Mike Puma of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis performed admirably before being reassigned with a .273/.333/.500 slash over 24 plate appearances. The 28-year-old outfielder could see time in New York at some point this season, but he could be a candidate to shuffle between Triple-A Syracuse and the big leagues.

Davis agreed to a minor-league contract with an invitation to spring training with the Mets on Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will have a chance to win a backup role with the Mets during the Grapefruit League, but will face an uphill battle. The outfielder spent 2022 in the Giants and Red Sox organizations, and was successful in a brief sample with a .333/.407/.375 slash over 27 plate appearances for Boston after he was claimed off waivers from San Francisco last April.

Davis opted for free agency Thursday, per the MILB transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Davis lost his spot on Boston's 40-man roster on Sept. 12, and he spent the rest of the season with Triple-A Worcester. Prior to being designated for assignment he hit .333/.407/.375 across only 27 plate appearances with Boston.

The Red Sox outrighted Davis to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
He remains in the organization after going unclaimed off waivers upon being designated for assignment Monday. The 28-year-old outfielder saw action in 12 games with Boston earlier in the season but has otherwise spent the bulk of the campaign at Worcester, with whom he's slashed .198/.315/.318 with a 30.8 percent strikeout rate across 305 plate appearances.

The Red Sox designated Davis for assignment Monday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis, who's been in the minors since Aug. 15, loses his 40-man roster spot. Despite going 8-for-24 in 12 games with Boston this season, the outfielder doesn't appear likely to generate much interest on waivers.

Davis was optioned to Triple-A Worcester following Sunday's win over the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will return to Worcester after he batted .300 with a double, two RBI and four runs over 20 at-bats in nine games since getting called up July 23. The move clears a roster spot for Enrique Hernandez (hip), who is expected to return from the 60-day injured list Tuesday.

Davis' contract was selected from Triple-A Worcester on Saturday, Bill Koch of The Providence Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
With Rafael Devers (hamstring) moving to the injured list, the Red Sox summoned some position player depth in the form of Davis. The righty-hitting outfielder probably won't play much while up with the big club. He hit .236/.335/.382 in 56 games at Triple-A.

The Red Sox outrighted Davis to Triple-A Worcester on Wednesday, Chris Cotillo of The Springfield Republican reports.
EDGE Analysis
Davis will remain in the organization after he went unclaimed off waivers when Boston designated him for assignment over the weekend. Before he lost his spot on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster, Davis appeared in two games for the Red Sox, going 2-for-4 with two strikeouts.

Davis was designated for assignment by the Red Sox on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Davis played in nine games at Triple-A Worcester after being sent down in early May, and he hit .200 with a home run, two doubles, three runs and three RBI. He'll be cast off the 40-man roster to make room for Rich Hill (illness), who was reinstated from the COVID-19 IL.
