The San Francisco Giants have placed J.D. Davis on waivers following the signing of Matt Chapman, making Davis a candidate for a potential waiver claim. Despite his $6.9 million salary after an arbitration win, no trade takers were found, leading to his release by the Giants, who now owe him termination pay instead of his full salary.
The last part of this is interesting. So JD Davis could have accepted the pre-arb amount of 6.55M and it would have been fully guaranteed? https://t.co/Umrt4rYsM9
The Giants have released J.D. Davis after he went unclaimed on waivers. Where do you think the veteran could land as the season approaches? https://t.co/zsWoEpfkWk
From me and @JohnSheaHey - among other things we’ve heard a potential deal for Davis didn’t happen because potential trade partner didn’t want to take on full contract https://t.co/APwbwQ9GqZ
The Giants would have owed Davis 45 days of prorated salary if they released him within 15 days of opening day. We're 17 days out, so termination pay is 30 days. Or a little over $1.1 million. He had won a salary of $6.9 million. OUCH.

Since this is termination pay, I'm pretty sure he's NOT subject to the non-duplication clause, i.e., he can sign for more than the league minimum and get it on top of what the Giants are paying him https://t.co/Gjx1hEGDVd

I never had any idea about this arbitration wrinkle. Seems like a large MLBPA miss in CBA talks. https://t.co/J58CXumDWi
Rough week for J.D. Davis, the rare established MLB vet who got treated like an NFL player. https://t.co/fkzYve57UN
Is he not gonna get paid his full salary? Sucks if not. https://t.co/ySTbIHJ9tp
J.D. Davis released by Giants. Will not receive the salary that was awarded to him in an arbitration hearing, $6.9 million. Just termination pay. The business of baseball.
No team took a shot on JD Davis at $6.9M. Now, he’s a free agent. https://t.co/snwlqXdZEq
The Giants have placed J.D. Davis on unconditional release waivers. They owe him a fraction of his $6.9 million salary as termination pay.
JD Davis released.
With Matt Chapman’s addition to the San Francisco Giants roster, the team placed infielder J.D. Davis on waivers, according to multiple reports. The move all but ensures Davis has played his final games as a Giant. https://t.co/oCfmziCyEo

Giants’ J.D. Davis placed on waivers. Oddity to it: If he clears waivers, his decision to go to arbitration in the offseason means his $6.9 million is not guaranteed. https://t.co/JJLVmqoJSM

JD Davis has been placed on waivers after Giants couldn’t find a taker on trade market (teams also knew SF had no spot for him after signing Chapman and Soler). His $6.9M salary after arbitration win isn’t unreasonable. Jays are a team that could make sense. @ByRobertMurray 1st
