Jose Bautista claimed off waivers by Phillies, Mets working on trade

New York Mets outfielder Jose Bautista has been claimed on revocable waivers by the Philadelphia Phillies, according to Ken Rosenthal. The teams are discussing a deal and have until Tuesday to complete a trade. If no deal is reached, the Mets would have to pull Bautista off waivers.

Although there is no evidence that a swap is imminent, Andy Martino has heard that it’s likely the two clubs will agree to a trade. The Mets are looking for a prospect in return for Bautista and do not intend to give him away, according to Jon Heyman.
