That's my take as well. Chances are he sees the writing on the wall that he'll need to settle for a much smaller deal than he anticipated, and wants to plant the seeds of loyalty to save face. Which is fine, that's his prerogative, but whether the Jays would sign him to that smaller deal is the question. Losing a pick for one year of Jose seems kind of pointless. As mentioned it would have to be something like 1 guaranteed year with 1 or 2 team options. That's the only way I can see Shapiro doing it.

Morosi going to hashtag BlueJays until a move actually happens.
-
Granderson makes sense. Put him in RF and platoon him with Upton. However, if the Mets want an actual prospect, then that's probably the hurdle.
-
Man, if JB/EE end up in Oakland and Tampa due to lack of other options, that would actually be pretty sad.
-
Just take Bastardo from the Pirates for nothing. At least it would be a one year commitment. The Pirates would probably love to get rid of $6.5m of salary.
-
Trollosi hashtagging the Jays again while reporting nothing. Dude knows how to get eyeballs at least.

General 2016 Blue Jays discussion thread
glory replied to G-Snarls's topic in Toronto Blue Jays Talk
Atkins and Shapiro only make moves on Friday. The Pearce signing was an aberration. -
Yeah at this point just having the roster spot for someone with more value to the team would be an asset. Swap him for a reliever who had a bad season ,or maybe there's an overpaid OF that the Jays can take from another team and use Smoak as a salary dump. I get the sense that the front office likes him though. They wouldn't have extended him if they didn't.
-
There has to be a team out there that needs 1B depth and has a crappy reliever making somewhere between $4-8m. Just make the swap. Smoak for Jason Motte, or something. Whatever.
-
Well if there's one positive to Gibbons, it's that he seems to hate Smoak as much as the rest of us, so that platoon idea may not last long. It better not.
-
They offered Edwin 4/80 before free agency even began and were in on Fowler. Both would have cost picks. They may not want to lose a pick for Joey Bats, but they clearly don't mind losing one for the right players. In this case, both the players they were willing to lose one for decided to decline the offers.
-
Revere scares me only because Gibbons would bat him lead-off. Other than that, I mean he might be able to bounce back offensively and be an adequate LF option (maybe a 1 WAR type) so it may not be an awful move in isolation, but yeah, I think I'd rather just start Pompey and hope he produces. The Royals could probably get a 3 WAR season out of Dyson even as a 4th OF, but they have 3 starting OF's and a bunch of 4th OF types. They'll have to make a trade of some sort. Dyson would be such a good fit, but if the Royals want an MLB talent, then it will be hard to find a match. You think they'll take Harold Ramirez? Doesn't strike out and hits for average....that's like a Royals prototype.
-
Probably a combination of a mutual dislike between the FO/Jose, and the FO thinking they could replace Jose's wins for less money and keep a draft pick on top of that. Of course, if no other team signs Bautista, then things become dicey because the pick becomes pointless.
-
I'd trade Osuna when he starts to get expensive. He shouldn't be untouchable at all. Young relievers don't always stay good for long.
-
Great fit and great salary over the next two years (Puig). No clue what the Dodgers would want though.
-
Or that.
-
If Valbuena can play the outfield at even an average level, then he's a solid pick up since he can cover 3B in case Donaldson has to miss time. Good way to make up for lack of depth is getting players who can cover multiple spots. He doesn't have much sample in the OF, though.
-
The front office has more Boston connections than Cleveland.
-
Morales is preventing an Edwin signing, but really has no impact on JB.
-
Since his ST rant.... - Got punched in the face and became a meme for life. - Had two separate stints on the DL. - Had his worst offensive and defensive seasons since his breakout. - Can't find a team willing to sign him as a free agent. Dude's body is is going to look like 2016 Sandoval's with all the humble pie he's been eating.
-
In that same vein, how about Josh Harrison? Pirates apparently want to move him. The Jays need a 2B when Travis misses half the year, and Harrison has played some OF, 3B, etc, as well. Could be a versatile option.
-
The qualifying offer is killing Jose's value. If the Jays move on, then he'll be settling for a short deal somewhere else.
-
I heard Morales and Pearce hate the front office, too.
-
I don't know. They were willing to lose a pick for Fowler. Sure they'll gladly take 3 picks in the 1st round, but if Bautista is signable and clearly the best player they can realistically get within budget, then they might be willing to sacrifice one of those picks as long as the terms make sense. He's still a projected 3 war player next season so the upgrade would be there. Of course, there might be bad blood on both sides, and I could be Jose being the type whose ego would get in the way of certain things. I still see it happening if they can't sign/trade for a better alternative.
-
Yeah I think it's only a matter of time now.
