- Hopefully the Davis extension is just the beginning...
Matt Chapman on a potential contract extension: "I want to be a part of this organization. I love coming to play here. I love the A’s, and I want to be a part of this for a long time. Khris is a step in the right direction for that. Whatever happens, that is out of my control.”
