According to DJF, there's talk his family wanted him at home, plus, his salary was peanuts...but on top of all that, he may have a chance to join the Cubs broadcast team, and those jobs don't come up very often.
Interesting to see how Lawrie takes that, DLR was a pretty big mentor this year.
Bautista better get a pretty big return, sure, yes, every year he has like the last drops his value, but he's still a big bat. Sure, the room needs a change but all the Domincan's were pretty tight in that room, so not sure this is the offseason to unload him and make that big change. He plays half decent next year and his value will be as good as it is today.
