It's not tampering, not even borderline. If Dom said "we like Encarnacion", then yeah, but it was through a media outlet. The smart thing to do is for the Red Sox to use the media to leak this type of stuff (Which is probably what they did, though)
I understand that relievers are a crapshoot, but when you have a good team with a s*** bullpen, it gets infuriating. Look at 2014 Tigers, for example. It will be interesting to see if Hutch and Chavez end up turning into BP assets

Players who know Jansen do not believe he would react well if he lost closer’s job with #Dodgers set to acquire Chapman. Stay tuned.

Shapiro?
I don't think either will be happy that their save opportunities will be reduced, but it's not like agents/GMs are dumb and will accept low ball offers in the offseason. I wonder if they'll sign one.
Beltran signed a 3 year 45 million contract back in 2013 at the age of 36.
Bautista will be at roughly the same age when he hits FA, and he is a much superior player.
If I were Bautista I'd expect 4 years at least, $80m
