First baseman Glenn Davis of the Houston Astros apologized to the organization, teammates, fans and news media Monday for published comments about his contract.
“I made a mistake and I’d like to restate myself and put to rest any misunderstanding about my contract,” Davis said. “At this point in time, Glenn Davis is concerned about one thing, helping this team improve.”
Davis receives a base salary of $1.985 million and cannot become a free agent until 1991. But he told the Houston Chronicle last Thursday that he wanted a multiyear contract.
“I’m not going into next season without some kind of solution to this,” Davis was quoted as saying.
“The more it started coming out, the more I saw that this was not Glenn Davis,” Davis said of the story.
“After reading some of the things, I personally want to apologize to the team.”
