Blue Jays Sign Jose Bautista

lol

[RealAccountant]

My sources are telling me that Bautista was only using the Blue Jays as leverage and that he's about to sign in Cleveland on a 2 year deal worth over $40m.

 

Really

 

Well good riddance to him then.

Man what is it with players in the DR. Didn't it take like forever and a day for Kendrys to be official too? Edited January 17, 2017 by KingKat

That's different though. It was reported that Morales actually signed. No source confirmed Bautista signed only that it was close.

Morales' deal was confirmed though. It just wasn't made official until later.

 

No one has confirmed Bautista's deal to this point. It may not even be done yet.

Haha what I meant was, if you were in a club and the dude was in a hoodie and bumped into you, you wouldn't think twice to tell him to watch himself, once he took of the shirt I'd be running for the hills.

 

Spanky would be dropping to his knees...

Ice Cube heads up Roc Nation.

If thats true good for Toronto BP. To get the scoop before big National Writers it should really help their platform.

Incentives

If Jose plays +50 games at 1B he will earn 5 millions

[Governator]

Finally. The details sound interesting.

[TholesWeirdEye]

SOURCE: #BlueJays and Jose Bautista in agreement on deal pending physical. Lots of incentives, a mutual option, and could go to 3 years.

 

Incentives? Like if he doesn't provide a negative in the OF?

[glory]

If the mutual option is after year 1, then it's basically a one year deal regardless.

[Ray]

"Lots of incentives." - this I like. Hoping for more information soon.

[Ehjays]

What happened to our insider.....

[Qwerty]

I won't see Jon Heyman again until 6am tomorrow. Even then its no guarantee. Might just be the health food store guy.

The mutual options are simply a way to defer more salary over extra years.

[King]

How is this any different than what we've already known? People have been waiting for the "announcement later this week" for days. One year deal with a mutual option was reported 2 days ago.

[burlingtonbandit]

West Texas had it before anyone! Although that might be bad for his job if people actually found out about it on here.

Because those were just negotiations. They actually have an agreement now.

Keywords: Pending Physical

When Kenny Ken lays it down, you know it's real.

 

Still don't like one year plus a mutual option, but I guess if Bats would have waited until June to sign, then it left them with no choice. He was clearly the best guy available.

I guess so looking back at the MLBTR posts.
