Finds work in Japan
Davidson agreed with the Hiroshima Toyo Carp of Japan's Nippon Professional Baseball on a one-year, $902,000 contract on Thursday, Yahoo Japan reports.
ANALYSIS
Had Davidson elected to continue his career stateside, he wouldn't have been in line for anything more than a minor-league deal that included an invitation to big-league spring training, so the 31-year-old's decision to chase the bigger payday overseas isn't a major surprise. Davidson spent the 2022 campaign in the Arizona and Oakland organizations, slashing .147/.216/.324 with a 35.1 percent strikeout rate in 37 plate appearances in the majors. He was one of the top sluggers at the Triple-A level, however, smashing 32 home runs between stops with the Diamondbacks' and Athletics' top affiliates in Reno and Las Vegas, respectively.

Davidson was one of the Reds' hottest hitters in summer camp and the team included him on the Opening Day roster as a short-side platoon DH. A positive COVID-19 test put him on the injured list one day into the 2020 season. Davidson later denied having actually contracted the virus since he only had one positive test; all subsequent tests were negative, including tests for antibodies. Davidson was able to return a week later and went on to have a couple moments, including a grand slam off the bench in a win over the Cardinals, but the overall body of work was dismal and the Reds designated him for assignment in early September. All 29 other teams passed on Davidson while he was on waivers and he later elected free agency in October after losing his 40-man spot for a second time. Davidson has struck out in more than one-third of his 1,075 career PA and needs to be heavily shielded from same-side pitching.
