Former A's slugger has confirmed that he is indeed retired...sort of.
, it's revealed that Davis, not wanting to just sit at home at the age of 36, instead went to the Arizona Automotive Institute for one year, graduated, and is now looking to become a mechanic.Davis was drafted by the Milwaukee Brewers in 2009, debuted in 2013, and remained with the club until 2015. That offseason he was traded to the Oakland A's in exchange for Jacob Nottingham and Bubba Derby in one of the better A's trades in recent memory.
Davis signed a two-year, $33.5 million deal in 2019 that was supposed to keep him in the green and gold through the 2021 season. Instead, after the team refused to pay Marcus Semien in free agency or even extend him a qualifying offer, the A's needed a shortstop for the 2021 season since they still had a large portion of their core group that included Matt Chapman and Matt Olson. They were also coming off their first playoff series win since the 2006 season when they reached the ALCS.
Davis was released by the Rangers that June, and signed as a free agent with the A's, getting into 20 games with the team down the stretch. He played his final game at the age of 33.
