At this point, almost everyone should be familiar with the events that occurred between the Texas Rangers and Jose Bautista. It all started with an unnecessary bat flip by Bautista, but then escalated to “The Punch” by Rangers infielder Rougned Odor.
While Odor wants to put what happened behind him, can the Rangers organization consider signing Bautista after the incident? Last winter, Bautista was a free agent and Texas wanted nothing to do with him, is that the same stance his time around?
Bautista, 37, is coming off a disappointing 2017 campaign with the Toronto Blue Jays.
