Blue Jays' Jose Bautista: Awaiting offer from Toronto

The Jays are expected to extend a qualifying offer to Bautista once the World Series ends, ESPN reports.

Analysis:

In a season-ending news conference Monday, general manager Ross Atkins said the decision to extend an offer to Bautista is "about as easy a decision as we'll make." The 36-year-old hit 22 homers with 69 RBI while batting .234 in an injury-shortened regular season. The price of a qualifying offer this year is $17.2 million.
