Jose Bautista has been a staple in the Blue Jays outfield for 8+ seasons, but his tenure north of the border may have just come to an end. The 36-year-old free agent joins Michael Saunders and several other Jays on the free agent list, and is available to any of baseball’s 30 teams.
At the end of 2015, it seemed highly likely the Blue Jays would try to lock up Bautista until the end of his career, but a lot can happen in a year. It’s looking much more likely that he’ll be playing in another jersey next season, and the same could likely be said for Saunders, despite openly expressing a desire to return.
