The market for free agent first baseman, Chris Davis has been very quiet with only his former team, the Baltimore Orioles having a formal offer. However, the Detroit Tigers are quietly making a move to sign the 2015 MLB home run leader.

According to Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe, the Tigers are a possible "sleeper team" for the slugging first baseman as his agent, Scott Boras has been telling teams that Davis can play both first base and outfield. The 29-year-old has only played 71 games in the outfield for his entire career and is seen only as a first baseman and designated hitter.

The Orioles have reportedly offered Davis a seven-year, $150 million contract, but both sides halted the talks. The slugging first baseman can resign with Baltimore as the offer is still on the table, per the Baltimore Sun.

However, Davis may need to consider the offer with the Orioles as the team is reportedly looking at free agent outfielders Justin Upton and Yoenis Cespedes as well as starting pitcher, Yovani Gallardo. The money the Orioles offered to him is well enough to sign two other free agents and help the team contend before Adam Jones and Manny Machado reach free agency.

Orioles team owner Peter Angelos wants the left-handed on his team, but he won't wait for him as they reportedly gave a deadline. The Orioles could also make a deal for Colorado Rockies' left-handed slugger Carlos Gonzalez to replace Davis' bat in the lineup.

In a report Mass Live, the Tigers are seen as a sleeper team because Boras was able to fetch a nine-year, $214 million for Prince Fielder in 2012 even if his market was as stale as Davis' this offseason. Boras is reportedly looking for at least a seven-year, $175 million for his client and he is known to wait out for the market before getting a huge, multi-million deal done.

Detroit still has one of the best first basemen in Miguel Cabrera, but with his health issues the past season, he could very well be transitioning to DH to preserve his body. As for Davis, he can add more power to the Tigers lineup because he led the majors in home runs last season with 47 while hitting .262 with 117 RBIs, per Baseball Reference.

He had his breakout season in 2013 by clubbing 53 home runs with a .286 batting average and 138 RBIs. Although he had a down 2014 season where batted an abysmal .196, he still managed to launch 26 home runs and 72 RBIs, giving him 126 homers in three years, the most in MLB in that span.
