I don't think Dan Duquette is racist, either in this instance or in general, I just think he lost out on signing Bautista and then decided to try pandering to the fans and probably unbeknowingly used those words.

Lost out on signing Bautista? Bautista crawled back to Toronto with his tail between his legs. I think if the Orioles wanted Bautista, Bautista would be an Oriole. I don't think the Jays really wanted Bautista back either, but given the Edwin departure and lack of offseason moves, they lived with a one year deal to stop a complete fan revolt.
