Well, Jose's bat is still good, but his fielding is horrid. He is only worth 0.6 WAR this season. Puig is worth 1 WAR thus far this season.
At the rate Bautista is going, I would not sign him. Even Pompey would likely be an upgrade overall, which is not good.
I'd rather take the money committed to Jose and give 10 of that to Encarnacion on a 4 year deal (4/100) instead and allow either an internal option to come in or sign someone else in the offseason.
