I think Nelson Cruz is a decent comparible. Cruz got 4 years and $57 million on his last contract at age 34. I don't see Jose being worth much more. Four years at $80 million seems very fair to me for Bautista.
"TSN’s Rick Westhead reported the demand as US$150-million over five years; Bautista, in Dunedin, denied it. A team source, tellingly, let slip to the Star’s Richard Griffin that the number was actually higher."

All Blue Jays front office trade negotiations with players and their agents should be broadcast live for fans to listen in on, and then comment afterwards on these message boards.
