Baseball decisions should never be made for PR reasons - good or bad.
Given his rapid decline this season in almost every part of his game - I don't want the team to re-sign him. Period.
EE I would love to see back. But he has to want to come back.

I don't think bringing Bautista back is good at all unless it's a one year deal (which may actually be possible now give his season).
Signing EE is imperative. It never should have got to this point. I just think that if EE leaves Bautista will be back because Rogers won't want to be blamed for losing both faces of the franchise regardless if it makes sense or not from a baseball perspective.
Rogers behaves like a public corporation in every one of it's baseball decisions, and saving public face is key. There's going to be a serious revolt in Toronto if both those guys leave after publicly stating they wanted to stay.
