They can add in some steroids to the deal to entice him.

Make his muscles a muscly ballon, and use the roids like a bike pump.

"I didn't want to waste their time or their effort, so they can start planning ahead, and if it's not going to happen, they have plenty of time to [respond]. They asked me about two weeks ago, and I told them, that's it. There's no negotiation, I told them what I wanted. They either meet it, or it is what it is."

Is there a more miserable ***** in baseball?

Yep but not by much.

"I don't believe in hometown discounts. I've given this organization a 5-year hometown discount already."

The Blue Jays attempted to negotiate with Bautista's terms but he told them not to waste their time.

The team that gave you a wealthy 6-year deal back when you were a 30-year-old with one good season to your name, a fanbase that loves your smug whiny self, and you treat your free agency like a Saturn dealer. Stay classy, Joey Bats.

My god they are a nasty bunch. What vile, nasty creatures. Thanks to the mods for not letting us be truly nasty to each other. I thought Canadians were supposed to be nice, unlike these mongrels.

They looked bad today with all the errors, but Tampa is going to suck this year

And the new slide rule has another victim, Jose Bautista. Instead of going up 4-3 in the 9th, the call was reversed and gave the Rays an instant 3-2 win. Haha!
