Can Orioles Afford To Extend Wieters And Davis?
Posted: Tue Nov 5, 2013 2:33 pm
People are beginning to wonder if the Baltimore Orioles will be able to afford to extend both Matt Wieters and Chris Davis, while also targeting other players.
Baltimore signed Adam Jones to a $91.65 million extension 18 months ago.
Wieters is two years away from free agency. The Orioles paid him $5.5 million this season, his first of arbitration eligibility.
Davis had a breakout season, but earned just $3.3 million in 2013. Like Wieters, he is 27 years old and two years away from free agency. They are both represented by Scott Boras.
