It's going to be interesting what happens with Bautista. He's slashing .222/.349/.444 which is not terrible (thank goodness he still walks a lot), but it is his worst season by a fair margin in the last 5 or so. His fielding has always been a bit suspect and he no longer has that cannon arm ever since he hurt it early last season.
I doubt the Jays would just go QO, but might be able to get a 3 year deal done with him. His asking price at the beginning of the season is now unobtainable with his performance this year (including injuries), so maybe they are a lot closer at the end of the year than we might think.
