I would say 4/90 or 5/100 would be the max I'd give up. If he wants more then that let him walk and take the draft pick! Ideally I'd prefer a 3 year contract by that will never happen. Someone is gonna be paying big dollars for a 40 year old declining slugger and I sure hope it ain't the Jays.

5/100 seems like a pretty fair compromise if he maintains his current level of play through the season.

5/100 if its today. Say he puts up a 5 Win season this year it would change things.

Basically the same contracts you've stated, but even then I'd rather explore other things first (like EE/JD extensions).

 

I like the odds of Bautista's demands falling quite a bit this year though. He's super old so he'll probably get hurt once or twice, maybe hit a bit worse, maybe look even more like a DH/1B.

5/110 with a team opt out in the 5th would be my max. I would say a guaranteed contract of 90+ 30 mil in incentives if that is even workable but I cant see he would agree to that.

I'd give him 4/100 right now.

Whatever the qualifying offer is.

Sign Edwin to a contract similar to Russ Martin money.

4/90. Don't want 5 years even if he stays at current production level this season. More annually should be the only alternative.

I'd give Bautista 4/100. Don't want that 5th year at all.

 

The problem with getting a deal done with either one of them before the offseason is that it basically signals to the other that they're gone. Not exactly the most the type of air you want floating around the clubhouse. Shapiro is really in a sticky spot.
