Return Of The Prodigal Son

Related Topics: José Bautista

It appears that Jose Bautista is coming back on a one, or two, or one plus an option year deal. Details are yet to be confirmed but it seems as though both sides want the deal to happen. The first year salary will be for more than $17.2M.

Also it appears that Michael Saunders is off to Philadelphia, presumably because Jose is coming back to the Jays.

So, will the Jays be younger? Nope. Will they be faster? Nope. More left handed? Maybe a little. Further evidence that battle plans do not survive contact with the enemy.
