Ike Davis is on the move again.
The former Met first baseman, designated for assignment by the Pirates last week, was traded to Oakland Sunday in exchange for international slot money.
Davis, who hit 32 homers for the Mets in 2012, has been unproductive ever since. A year later, his home-run total dropped to nine and he was sent to the minors to work on his swing, which proved unsuccessful.
He then lost his starting job to Lucas Duda last season before being shipped to the Pirates in April for reliever Zack Thornton and pitching prospect Blake Taylor.
Davis hit a grand slam in his third game with the Pirates but otherwise struggled at the plate, leading them to send him to Oakland. He’ll be 28 in March.
There had been some thought that Davis could land in The Bronx as a potential lefty-swinging backup to Mark Teixeira at first base, but the Yankees don’t have much roster flexibility with Alex Rodriguez returning and unlikely to be able to play much third base.
And there’s no guarantee he’ll stay with the A’s, since they just signed ex-Royal Billy Butler to a three-year deal.
