^^^meh...Tote and I take turns being a dick...we've been doing this for years and he still loves me...he "worships the quicksand I walk on".
^^^ lol...I hope it's a BIG pay cut. ...for the life of me, considering last year's performance, I cannot fathom how he can justify the kind of contract he's been seeking.
^^^ Lil, if those numbers are accurate, the Jays are evidently really desperate after losing Encarnacion.
"Outfielder Jose Bautista is returning to the Toronto Blue Jays after agreeing to a one-year contract Tuesday, a sources told ESPN, confirming multiple reports. The contract, which includes mutual option for the 2018 and 2019 seasons, will pay Bautista $18 million in 2017, a source told ESPN's Jim Bowden. If both options are exercised, the deal would max out at $60 million for the three years." =================================================== ...very prudent contract structure by the Jays...take note, Cashman.
If one looks up the word ingrate there'll be a picture of old Joey Bat alongside the definition. On a recent list of the 15 most hated players in baseball old pal Joey was number one, top of the list, king of the heap. There are old Blue Jays, and Bold Blue Jays, but no old bold Blue Jays. So suck it up Toronto, as much as that man tried to be the Franchise Filth you signed him anyway to be the senior member of your aging franchise. Looking at his 2016 numbers I'd be concerned.
