fucking douche
Jose Bautista met with the Blue Jays about two weeks ago and told them the dollar amount it would take to re-sign him.
Bautista appears to have drawn a line in the sand. "I don't think this should be a negotiation," said Bautista. "I think it should be natural, organic, quick and easy. It shouldn't be pull and tug over a few dollars here and there." The Blue Jays haven't given out many huge contracts over the years and Bautista turns 36 in October. Edwin Encarnacion is also entering the final year of his contract. The Blue Jays have some major financial decisions to make in the next year.

It is always a wrong move to try to make, even for the Trout's and Harper's. That said, only to top 1 or 2 guys should get anywhere near this kind of a thing.
It is NOT the same scenario by any means, but, I still think of this, then think of Derek Bell, and Operation Shutdown.

Toronto Blue Jays’ all-star outfielder Jose Bautista is demanding a five-year contract extension worth more than $30 million per year, two sources familiar with the matter told TSN.
Bautista turns 36 in October and a $150-million contract, were he able to secure it, would make him among baseball’s top-paid players.

But in a meeting with Blue Jays officials two weeks ago in Toronto, Bautista and his financial advisors compared the Blue Jays outfielder to Miguel Cabrera and retired Yankees superstar Derek Jeter, in terms of his value to his club.
Bautista: I've given the Jays a five-year hometown discount already
A candid Jose Bautista updates where contract talks stand between himself and the Jays, reveals that he has given the team a number and a term and has no interest in negotiating. Bautista also says he's ''given this organization a five-year hometown discount already''.
In a press scrum on Monday, Bautista said Rogers should pay him the money at least partly because it can afford to.
"It’s no secret that in a publicly traded company everybody can track performance fairly easily,” Bautista told reporters. “Stock prices are closely monitored by the whole financial world. I think there is a direct correlation with the success of [Rogers] earnings per share after we started experiencing success. Are they going to put it out in the media and say, ‘Because of the Jays, we made all this money?’ No. But everybody can read between the lines.”
Rogers Communications Inc. deputy chairman Edward Rogers III has been briefed on Bautista’s contract demands, a source told TSN.

If I were running a team, I'd pay him market rate (probably what he's asking), provided that there was a clause that voided the contract as soon has his anabolic Ponce de Leon is investigated by the feds.

Bautista reported ask of $150M, 5 yrs is indeed not exactly accurate, as Joey Bats said. At least years and total $ r MORE.

I would give Bautista 30Mx5 in a heartbeat, if he were 32 and agreed to a PED clause.

Sure I'm six years older than donaldsen, not as good of an all around player, have only been successful in one place my entire career, need steroids to perform, and I'm a whiney prick, but I think you should invest in me and not him.
