Jose Bautista

Jose Bautista may well have played his final games with the Toronto Blue Jays.

A year after being major players on the trade market, the Toronto Blue Jays are at it again, except from the other side of the aisle.

According to the Boston Globe's Nick Cafardo, the Blue Jays are getting inquiries about star outfielder Jose Bautista:

Toronto Blue Jays slugger Jose Bautista was forced to leave the first game of Tuesday's double-header against the New York Yankees and was placed on the disabled list shortly after the teams' nightcap. 

Sportsnet's Shi Davidi has the news:

If you are wondering how Jose Bautista and David Ortiz are getting to the All-Star Game, they will be traveling by prancercise. 

With fan voting for the 2013 MLB All-Star Game coming down to its final stretch, players ranging from sure things to long shots are using Twitter as their prime method of self-marketing.

Jose Bautista is now a card-carrying member of the cool club. 

It is impressive to me that Jose Bautista has the most home runs in the American League over the past three seasons all while missing nearly half of last season (70 games). Bautista is definitely the leader among the home run title hopefuls, especially in the American League—but there are some who could challenge Jose for this crown.

As many of us know, the Toronto Blue Jays have lofty expectations this season. Whether it be from the odds in Vegas to the chatter around the league to the success-starved fans, everyone agrees that the Blue Jays should make the playoffs this season.

With many fair-weather fans joining the fray in Toronto, it would help to give them a little more information about the team, especially regarding the new players on the squad.

Heading into the 2013 season, Orioles first baseman Chris Davis wasn't a well-known star in the Baltimore lineup.

Within four games, that's changed.
