Report: Orioles increase offer to Davis, huge gap still exists

The Baltimore Orioles aren't going to let Chris Davis slip away easily, but he's reportedly adamant on getting a massive contract.

Baltimore has increased its offer to more than $150 million over seven years in an attempt to retain Davis' services, according to CBS Sports' Jon Heyman.

Unfortunately for the Orioles, Davis is now believed to be asking for an eight-year pact for around $200 million.

Members of Baltimore's front office met with his agent, Scott Boras, on Tuesday, and executive vice president Dan Duquette hinted he's growing impatient waiting for the slugger to make a decision.

Davis has belted a major league-leading 159 home runs over the past four seasons, and the St. Louis Cardinals are another team showing interest in the perennial power hitter.
