Chris Davis told the Boston Herald that the Boston Red Sox showed interest in him before he re-signed with the Baltimore Orioles this offseason.

"I pretty much tried to stay out of it as much as I could and let my agent handle it, but I remember their name coming up a few times," Davis said. "I don't know how in depth they talked. I don't know if it was just a feeler or what was going on."

Davis might have been a good fit for the Red Sox going forward with David Ortiz retiring, opening up the DH slot.
