Davis returns to Oakland on one-year deal
- Updated: January 4, 2017
The Athletics have reached a one-year deal with free-agent outfielder Rajai Davis to return to the Bay Area, the club announced Tuesday. Davis, who spent last season with the Indians, played for the A’s from 2008-10.
To clear a spot on the 40-man roster, the A’s designated infielder Max Muncy for assignment. Davis, 36, satisfies Oakland’s need for a center fielder after he hit .249 with a .306 on-base percentage and a career-high 12 homers and a league-leading 43 stolen bases last year. Davis’ ninth-inning homer off Aroldis Chapman of the Cubs sent Game 7 of the World Series into extra innings, though the Cubs eventually won.
