DUNEDIN, Fla. -- Jose Bautista put all of his cards on the table during a compelling scrum with reporters on Monday afternoon, but Blue Jays general manager Ross Atkins isn't going to follow suit any time soon.
Bautista, who is eligible for free agency at the end of the season, told reporters that he has provided the Blue Jays with the exact dollar amount and total number of years that would be required for him to re-sign with the club. He also said there's no need for negotiation because the price has been set and the ball is in Toronto's court.
