The Braves have already signed a couple of 40-year-olds to smart, one-year deals, and they could be looking to keep their hands in the box of “veteran presents” if Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe is believed. According to Cafardo, the Braves are one of the teams interested in free agent outfielder Jose Bautista.
The Red Sox are a potential landing spot. Bautista loves Boston, loves Fenway, hits well there (.972 career OPS), and has strong relationships with John Farrell and Brian Butterfield from their Toronto days. Also on the radar are Texas, Houston, Baltimore, St.
