Looking those guys up, I'm guessing Davis was out of options and Houston is pretty packed where this guy could play. Davis has hit for some power in the minor leagues.

Tell AT&T Park goodbye, Giants fans.
Buster Posey, Brandon Crawford and their mates henceforth will play ball at Oracle Park.
The Giants on Thursday will announce a 20-year agreement with the Redwood City technology company to affix its name to their waterfront ballpark in San Francisco.

i don't hate the mets signing him -- he's old, but put up over 8 WAR over the last two seasons, and he'll be worth the money if he does a third of that -- but it seems an odd use of resources
i do find it amazing that the many teams who actually need second basemen wouldn't offer more than that. well, actually not that amazing because the whole system is obviously broken
― mookieproof, Friday, 11 January 2019 02:00 (five years ago) link
lowrie was good last year but i'm just naturally suspicious of a GM whose big ideas are to go after his own clients. also it's the mets... there's no way them signing a 34 year old FA turns out well.
― J0rdan S., Friday, 11 January 2019 02:09 (five years ago) link
It's a bit of a head-scratcher, considering what they really could use right now is another prominent reliever, but he's a quality (albeit older) player at a good price that gives more depth to the infield. There is no such thing as too much depth when you talk about the Mets lately.

hear that the rumor of a chisox 175M offer for 7 years for manny machado is not correct. am told it is "way off," though not sure exactly how off. I'd say offer has to be higher and almost surely begins with a 2.— Jon Heyman (@JonHeyman) January 16, 2019
