Orioles 1st Baseman Chris Davis Is Happy Free Agency Brought Him Back To Baltimore
Chris Davis is the starting first baseman for your Baltimore Orioles.
Chris joined Ed and Steve live from Orioles Spring Training in Sarasota, FL.
Chris started off by talking about re-signing with the Orioles saying "I'm happy and I'm back where I want to be, the free agency process was grueling but it was worth it." As for how much his love of Baltimore played into coming back he said "it was a big part of my decision, looking back toward the end of the season last year the way the fans embraced me and wanted me back...this is a first class organization and I wanted to stay in a place I was comfortable and a place I could win."
When asked if the new big contract was putting pressure on him and if he could feel the pressure Chris said "there is a lot of accountability that goes on in our clubhouse and that's where the pressure comes from...for me it's a weight off my shoulders knowing where I'm going to be for the next couple years."
Chris also talked about Twitter and whether or not he allows trolls to get to him or if he pays attention to the keyboard haters at all, and the use of smokeless tobacco in the majors.
