Sure he's right, but he signed that contract after the Jays picked him off the scrap bin. When's the last time you heard ANY professional athlete come out and say i'm not negotiating, here's what I want, pay or F off? The greatest of the game have never said anything like this publicly despite what might get said behind closed doors, but Jose Bautista feels the need to? He's not even a top 15 player in the game.
