Bye-bye Bautista: Blue Jays decline OF's $17.5M US option

Jose Bautista's $17.5 million US contract option has been declined by the Toronto Blue Jays, who will pay a $500,000 buyout. Bautista, 36, became a free agent Sunday after the team turned down its half of the mutual option on the right-fielder.
