The Blue Jays and Jose Bautista have the second-largest arbitration gap in the majors, behind Josh Hamilton and the Rangers. Bautista is seeking $10.5 million, while the Jays have an offer of $7.6 million. "Our dialogue with their camp has been outstanding," GM Alex Anthopoulos said. "Philosophically, we don't see eye-to-eye right now, and that's OK. That's why we have the process in place, and I think we both realize that there's no one who is right or wrong. Both sides make a compelling case, and that's why we need a third party to make a determination of what the right value for the player is."
