Trade Chip

Dave Cameron:

[José Bautista] won’t keep this up all year, but he will be an interesting trade chip for the Blue Jays. He’s capable of playing all four corner positions, makes just $2.4 million this year and is arbitration eligible at the end of the season, so he’s not strictly a rent-a-player. Come July, when Toronto’s efforts to keep up with Tampa Bay and New York have fallen short, don’t be surprised if Bautista is one of the more coveted guys on the market.

OR! The Jays could make me happy and keep José Bautista and not trade him to the Yankees like they did with my first favourite Blue Jay, that other right-fielder with a strong arm, mediocre hitting with some pop, Jesse Barfield. Re-sign J-BAU!
