Bautista has been placed on revocable trade waivers, Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports reports.
This does not necessarily mean Joey Bats will change clubs. Many, if not most, major-league players are exposed to this process following the non-waiver trade deadline, and the club could even pull him back if he's claimed. Also, as a 10-and-5 player, Bautista has a full no-trade clause he'd have to waive for a move to happen. The veteran has a mutual 2018 option on his contract, but it's unlikely the Blue Jays want to pay the $17 million that would lock him in. The likely scenario is Bautista becoming a free agent after a disappointing 2017. Either way, he controls whether he'll finish this season with another club.
