There is good news and bad news for Orioles fans about Jose Bautista. The bad news is that we will have to continue looking at his face periodically. The good news is that he won’t be wearing an O’s uniform when we are looking at him. Bautista is headed back to Toronto on a two-year contract.
Not that the idea of Bautista possibly coming to Baltimore was ever a very likely one. That’s not because of Dan Duquette’s pronouncement earlier in the offseason that he wouldn’t sign Bautista because fans don’t like him, though. After all, Duquette walked back the comments about a week ago.
