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.
Do you think they'll be ok giving up a pick for 1 year of Bautista though?

I think the draft pick compensation is what is killing his market right now, personally. I dont' think teams want to give up a first for him unless his price really makes sense.
