If only he was a LHB.
Rare to see a team actually do this, but that's a lot money. Also I didn't realize the new CBA actually did away with the ability to do this for the most part, and this loophole seems like a huge fail by the MLBPA lawyers.
For the first time, one-year contracts for arbitration-eligible players — encompassing most players with greater than 2 1/2 and fewer than six years of service time — would be fully guaranteed.
Because the provision in the CBA specifically does not guarantee arbitration salaries arrived at through a hearing, the Giants owe Davis just 30 days of termination pay, which amounts to a little more than $1.1 million.
