BALTIMORE — Chris Davis and the Orioles are together again.

Multiple people with knowledge of the situation say Davis has agreed to a seven-year, $161 million contract with Baltimore, pending a physical.

The people spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because the Orioles have not announced the transaction.

Davis, 29, has been with Baltimore since 2011. He hit a major-league leading 47 home runs and amassed 117 RBI last year.

Davis wondered aloud during the final week of the 2015 season whether his time in Baltimore was up.

“I’m trying not to reminisce too much just yet,” he said. “I definitely want to enjoy these last few games, just kind of take everything in, being around these guys, playing in front of our fans, and wearing this uniform. I try not to let myself look too far ahead. If I did that, it would be a lot harder the last few days and take some joy away.”

The Orioles were his most aggressive suitor, offering a seven-year deal last month. Since coming to the Orioles in a July 2011 trade with Texas, Davis has been a sensational run producer and a positive force in the clubhouse.

“I’ve said all along, Chris is a body-of-work guy,” Manager Buck Showalter said. “When you get through and step back, he can do a lot of things that not many people can do. He may go some at-bats and just not look aesthetically pleasing, but he’s always one swing, one at-bat away. He squares up a ball, and it goes where you can’t defend it.”

After Davis and his agent, Scott Boras, stalled making a decision this offseason, Baltimore reportedly made an offer this week to hard-hitting free agent Yoenis Cespedes.

Davis has 203 career homers, including 126 over the last three years. He hit a career-high 53 homers in 2013.

ROYALS: Pitcher Ian Kennedy agreed to a $70 million, five-year deal that includes an opt-out after the first two years, a person familiar with the situation told The Associated Press.

The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the contract will not be completed until the 31-year-old right-hander passes a physical.

Kennedy went 9-15 with a 4.28 ERA for the San Diego Padres last season. He is four years removed from a 21-win season with the Arizona Diamondbacks and also has pitched for the New York Yankees during his nine-year career.

The Royals sought another starter to replace Johnny Cueto, who signed a $130 million, six-year deal with the Giants after helping Kansas City win its first World Series title since 1985.

Kennedy turned down the Padres’ qualifying offer of $15.8 million for next season, which means San Diego will receive a draft pick from Kansas City as compensation.

ANGELS: Los Angeles signed veteran reliever Al Alburquerque to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.

Alburquerque went 4-1 with a 4.21 ERA in a career-high 62 innings of relief for Detroit last season.

NATIONALS: Pitcher Stephen Strasburg agreed to a $10.4 million contract for next season, avoiding arbitration.

The Nationals also reached deals with infielders Danny Espinosa and Anthony Rendon, and outfielder Ben Revere.
