Jay's however have to find outfielders or they will have a really tough season.

The Jays definitely want the draft pick for Jose. I have no problem with that either. Just come right out and say that though. Quit this BS on Sportsnet that the Jays are in talks with Bautista, and flat out say it.
In my opinion, the only way Bautista remains with the Jays is if he's still unsigned come spring training and is willing to sign a one year deal worth 13-14M. At that point though a lot of teams would likely be willing to consider it, and I doubt Bautista's pride would allow him to take anything less than his qualifying offer from the Jays. Probably would sign elsewhere for less at that point.
