Who wins?

No thank you

Baltimore, only because the shitty Cabrera contract is 2 years longer and 60 million more than the shitty Chris Davis contract. If baseball owners were at all rational Chris Davis would be released.

Miggy is worth something though (not his contract amount), but something. No Deal!!

No thank you

Mancini has 29 homers this year while Cabrera has nine. Is the difference in ballpark really that much of a difference?

As someone has already pointed out, Davis is going to be released this winter no matter what, so why not save $8 million a year of your payroll from free? It's not as if Cabrera contract is going to suddenly become easier to move as he gets older.

Detroit gets salary relief while Miggy gets a more hitter-friendly environment to compensate for his age. Seems like a win-win.

If Davis gets released any team can pick him up for minimum salary. I may be foolish, but no.

Missed a team. Texas will trade actual young players for both. it is our goal, no mission, to own all overpriced and over the hill 1B in the league. Doubly so if they come from Detroit.

No one is going to pick up Davis. He cooked.

The best he’ll be able to hope for is a minor league deal with minimal chance of making it back to the majors.
