Dan Duquette continues to be peppered with questions about Chris Davis.
“I’m not exactly sure where that’s going to end up,” Duquette said at FanFest on Saturday. “At some point, we’re going to have to look at some other options.”
Season ticket holders also asked Duquette and manager Buck Showalter about Davis.
Duquette said that there are currently no negotiations with Davis’ agent, Scott Boras.
“There’s no offer on the table right now,” Duquette said. “We’ve got to look at some other options for left-handed hitting, which we’re currently doing.”
Duquette hasn’t given up on signing the slugger. The Orioles reportedly made a seven-year, $150 million offer to him.
“We’ll have to see how it plays out,” Duquette said.
He reiterated that the team wants left-handed hitters.
“We’re looking at that a little more aggressively,” Duquette said.
“Every deal has its own timing. The timing is determined by a number of factors in the market. Sometimes you need patience. Sometimes you have to move in other directions.”
Boras often likes to avoid having his clients sign until well into January.

“I’m not really sure what the club’s appetite is on a January deal,” Duquette said. “We’re going to proceed down some other tracks right now.”
Duquette mentioned during his session with the fans that the club had tried to sign Manny Machado to a long-term extension, and it came close, but wasn’t completed. He said he might try again, but the team has other priorities.
NOTE: The Orioles hope to be able to officially sign Darren O’Day on Monday. Duquette said that there is just one item remaining to get resolved.
