Jose Bautista’s bat flip of a contract non-negotiation has made it easy for the Toronto Blue Jays.
This will be his last season in Toronto.
The Blue Jays, under new management, under the ownership of Rogers Inc., will not cave in to Bautista’s ask for $150 million over five years, a number first reported on Tuesday by TSN investigator Rick Westhead.
This basically closes the Bautista file beyond this season. It takes the complicated and makes it uncomplicated. Typically, Bautista is all about noise and fury and bringing attention to himself, because that’s what he does and that’s who he is.
