The San Francisco Giants have released infielder J.D. Davis following his salary arbitration victory.

Davis will receive approximately $1.1 million in termination pay, instead of the $6.9 million salary awarded by arbitration.

The release comes despite Davis' solid performance, hitting .248 with 18 home runs and 69 RBIs in his first full season with the Giants.

The Giants' decision was influenced by their recent agreement with third baseman Matt Chapman on a $54 million, three-year contract.

Davis had a strong showing in spring training but was still deemed expendable by the team.

Now a free agent, J.D. Davis is expected to draw interest from several teams, including the Milwaukee Brewers, Seattle Mariners, and Toronto Blue Jays.

Matt Chapman is set to become the new starting third baseman for the Giants.
