Baltimore Orioles First Baseman Chris Davis Offered Free Crab Cakes for Life

It pays to be good at baseball––in more ways than one! Baltimore Orioles first baseman Chris Davis recently received an offer of $150 million over the course of seven years. But that offer was dwarfed by the offer that a Baltimore-area seafood restaurant made: free crab cakes for life.

For his kids, too. And their kids, for that matter.

Jimmy's Famous Seafood took to social media on Thursday to give Davis the offer – an offer that would give the next two generations of his family enough crab cakes to feed the entire state of Maryland at least nine times over – if the slugger does in fact stay in Baltimore. Pair that offer with the neat sum that the Orioles are willing to shell out and Davis will be set for life with only one concern in mind: cholesterol.

The Orioles finished 2015 with a fair record, going 81-81, finishing five games out of a wild card spot. Davis, meanwhile, had a spectacular season. He hit 47 home runs and knocked in 117 RBI's (the home run tally was best in the league). In fact, from 2013-15, nobody in the league has hit more long balls than Davis. But the power came at a price. Over the course of the same period, nobody has struck out more than Davis.

Perhaps it was his vulnerability to strikeouts that made the Orioles retract their initial offer of $150 million over seven years – the team citing that they are now "going down different tracks," that according to CBS Sports. The Orioles apparently didn't see eye-to-eye with Davis' contract requests. The first baseman is reportedly seeking a deal similar to what Yankees Mark Teixeira got a few years ago when he received an 8-year, $180 million contract.

Meanwhile, Jimmy's Famous Seafood is reportedly holding firm to their initial offer.
