Davis's season has been tumultuous, with stints at the San Francisco Giants, Oakland A's, and the Yankees. He won an arbitration case with the Giants for a $6.9 million salary in 2024 but was released to create cap space for Matt Chapman.

The Oakland A's picked him up, hoping he would be a valuable trade asset, but his performance fell short.
After being acquired by the Yankees in late June, Davis played in just seven games, posting a .631 OPS across his time in New York and Oakland.
Despite his recent struggles, Davis's career .268/.352/.443 line with 67 home runs and 209 RBIs over the past five years suggests he still has potential value for teams looking to bolster their rosters.
